See reply to woojoo below - not saying I'm the world's best frontend dev, but I've built complex apps with many screens / modes / complex state. Despite what people seem to think, the world doesn't fall apart without a virtual DOM, indeed it usually gets simpler. Vanilla JS gives you all the essentials to make abstractions to fit your task (i.e. functions and structured data).

Sure it's possible. You can also program in assembly instead of Java. But you'll soon be creating your own abstraction layer, why not use one that is very thin too and battle tested by millions of users?
