The DOM stitches several useful but unrelated concepts together. Besides just being a tree of composable views: * You can query elements arbitrarily deep using different patterns (depth, class names, ids, tag names, attribute presence/values). * You can attach event handlers to arbitrarily deep nodes that you just queried, not just the nodes at the level your "controller" is in charge of creating/updating like traditional frameworks. * Customizing style and behavior is entirely done via properties and composition rather than subclassing like traditional frameworks. * And more!
