JS frameworks were a terrible mistake

The frameworks aren't the problem, it's their authors. There's a virus in the JavaScript world that makes people think ever-more complex solutions make tools better. After years asking "why is it like this" (I'm a JS dev/framework author), I realized this is likely due to an inferiority complex because hearing "real programmers don't use JavaScript" makes people feel bad so they try to compensate with complexity and end up creating messes. That and complexity pays well.

You're either using a framework, or unintentionally writing your own

I rewrote one of my apps in vanilla JS to get the most performance possible, the wheel I had to reinvent is under 150 line of code [1], definitely worst the small cost [2]
