Ugh. Aside from trivially simple projects trying to go framework-less just means you end up writing your own buggy unmaintainable franken-framework. And look at those code examples in the article. Such a simple app, and yet already a confusing mass of IIFEs, module patterns and whatnot. Framework churn is indeed tiring but throwing out what I would consider basic/essential tools of frontend (module bundling for starters) doesn't make sense. Besides, React is a library for efficiently rendering large DOM trees ... so I'm not sure what point he's making by re-implementing an MVC framework?!
