A few of them would outright not know how to do anything else.

It's like how a lot of people these days reach for an electric drill/driver for even the most simple projects like tightening a screw. It never occurs to them to use a screwdriver, or even a butter knife.

Try to get a Java developer to do something without Spring.

Yeah, my dad is like this. But even just for one screw I am at least 10x faster with the electric option.

But I also achieve faster HTMl with vanilla and never touched react, so .. I will continue to stick with using the right tool for the job.
