Why provide a layer of indirection between the developer and the DOM? I already know HTML elements and the DOM API, why should I want to learn a hole new framework to construct them?
- pknopf 7y agoEverything these days abstracts the DOM. Why use anything then?
- ng12 7y agoIt's not abstraction it's indirection. You're not using <a> or <button> you're using UIButton and UILink and whatever a UIExpandedLabel or a UISelectionController does.
- dmitriid 7y agoBecause DOM APIs are horrible verbose imperative low-level monstrosities?
