What does ES6, Jquery, Handlebars, Bootstrap and Angular 2 buy you ?

  Better built ins and direct style, standardised DOM before it existed, grid layouts before they existed and widgets, a virtual DOM which updates when your data does. What's your point?

    For me they just get in the way, they add unnecessary hurdles to dev and slows down the page performance and load time. I currently work with dev-ops and is always interested to hear about peoples pain-points and try to figure out how to solve them in a more lean way.

      Well yes, since except templating and data binding they're all included out of the box now. But the ones that aren't are useful.

  ES6 - The standard version of JavaScript that all browsers support/will support. JQuery - a simplified syntax to access the DOM, do ajax, and add events to elements. HandleBars - if you don't want a heavyweight framework but you do want a simplified templating system. Handlebars is simpler. My usual MO for front end development when I don't want to implement a full SPA framework: 1. Create a template with Handlebars 2. Use Ajax to get the model. 3. Render the template. Or. Create the view with Handlebars Assign events using JQuery to the rendered elements. Adjust the model based on the events. Re-render the template based on the model. But at some point, it makes sense to use a full fledged framework because at a certain level of complexity, you are reinventing the wheel. But even then, I can use Ember that uses Handlebars. But it doesn't make sense to use Handlebars and Angular. Bootstrap is for layout whether you use Handlebars or Angular.
