Vanilla CSS is the other end of the spectrum, but the problem is there is apparently nothing between hand-crafted CSS and a full front-end framework. People, like me, who are not good at design will choose the convenience of the latter over going through the tedium of the former, even if we don't really want to.
There is no design in/for the web without html+css, is there?
Edit: by removing 3rd parties from your project you remove a lot of overhead and current and future risk. But be warned: Maybe your company sells exactly that for a good margin and you ruin the business model.

Only as much as there's no programming without assembly language.
It is really sad that you are forced to do things that you believe you are not capable of doing and refuse to do.
When did I ever say I was not capable of doing it? It's really sad the way you push your mindset on others.
