> Not even VSCode uses a specific framework, which demonstrate my point. Yes, they use Monaco editor for their text editor but this is a very specific library for a specific purpose, this isn't a generic view framework like react and co. I think your argument is a bit flawed here. They don't use a generic framework for VSCode not because they don't need a framework, but probably because a generic framework is not good enough for handle the complexity on their level that they need to invent their own framework. So, my point is: Simple app, fancy forms: No framework should be required, just use VanillaJS, jQuery, or d3.js. More complex apps that solves a generic problem (CRUD with heavy client side interactivity): Generic framework. Extremely complex and specialized apps: Write your own framework.
