Vanilla Prime: A simpler, more sustainable way of web development

these are all dev-time dependencies. The part that's contradictory is

"A simpler, more sustainable way of web development"

vs.

"Vanilla Prime is not meant to be easy"

I think it's a little naive to believe the JS build scene is somehow divorced from the JS runtime scene, when there's just as much complexity, churn, deep dependency chains and rapid obsolescence.

Simple != Easy

I'm not sure if the author succeeded or not, but at least the goal is clear.

Not sure who said it but I was aiming for the "Simple Ain't Easy" trope here ;)

I agree that the JS build scene can be churning a lot as well (e.g. ESLint's recent config changes), that's why I tried to make everything as orthogonal and disposable as possible.
