A lot of devs tend to feel that UI is something trivial and “solved”. The unfortunate reality is that UI related code gravitates towards being extremely messy, convoluted and harder to change over time. It changes more than other types of code, is really hard to test properly and has to handle coordinating events firing from all over the place. Add to this JavaScript’s lack of types and past testing culture and you can see how creating a framework that fits your needs can become an appealing option.
