>and load content to the appropriate DIVs Well, I develop SPA and never did something like that. More work to show button? Oh, it must be React or Vue. I find them very prehistoric. The way I write a button in ExtJS for example is { xtype: "button", text: "OK" } That's it, no CSS, no HTML.

This comment is deliciously ironic: > Oh, it must be React or Vue. I find them very prehistoric. Modern JS development in a nutshell.

Yes that's much simpler than the vue way of just using <button>

  In Vue you still need to use CSS to center it or align it to right if is part of a window component.

    If that's the hardest part then there are no issues at all.

Getting a button to appear in ExtJS ain't the problem. Getting it to appear where you like often is. Comapared to nested panels with umpteen different layout managers, flexbox ain't that hard (nevermind subtle cross-browser bugs that aren't priorities in Russia when compared to spurious pivot table features). And let's not even get into customizing. Attaching CSS rules to four different generated nested divs, inline style declarations to both the object and its underlying element, custom XTemplates... Abstractions get leaky rather fast, if you're not doing the "3270 terminal forms meet Excel 2003" enterprise UI.
