  Is it really that bold? The popularity of front-end frameworks has exploded in the past few years, and you would be hard pressed to find a team building an application without one. Clearly there's a reason people are making this choice. This article by Tom Dale (one of the creators of Ember) explains it really well: http://tomdale.net/2015/11/javascript-frameworks-and-mobile-performance/ http://tomdale.net/2015/11/javascript-frameworks-and-mobile-... Key quote: "As apps grow, you tend to need the abstractions that a framework offers. Either you or the community write the code."

This classic paper has held up pretty well for three decades: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/No_Silver_Bullet https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/No_Silver_Bullet > Clearly there's a reason people are making this choice. Maybe they're just following fashion because they don't know any better. Maybe they're trying to gild their resumes. Or maybe they really do have a problem that a particular framework solves or mitigates. There are doubtless many reasons. But it's a huge leap of logic to base on that, a claim that frameworks make you an order of magnitude more productive.
