> and still people are using JS frameworks over JS frameworks over JS frameworks Even as someone who is ostensibly a front-end hipster dev (long live React), this is something I'm in total agreement with. Every single web developer should take 10 minutes, and go have a poke around WebPlatform[0], and see what these amazing networked virtual machines we call browsers can do natively these days. And they can do it well faster than anything we can write ourselves. Of course, browser support is an issue, which is why polyfilling as needed should still be the name of the game, but it genuinely blows my mind how often I've seen devs add a brittle dependency to the code-base for something browsers can do themselves, better, faster, and supported back to some seriously old browsers!
