The end result may be development without a 3rd party frameworks, perhaps in a way that allows you to mix and match libraries without needing to use a large underlying framework. However, as things stand now there is clearly a need for JS frameworks. They are plugging gaps in vanilla JS. My argument isn't that frameworks do not have any utility (right now), my argument is, if you stick to a smaller selection of frameworks and work on both polish and flexibility, you'll have frameworks that make people want to develop in JS. At the very least it'll mean that the basics would be easy, and design decisions could be deferred until later in the site design.
