The Framework Trap
- bluefirebrand 6y agoThe frameworks mentioned in the article (ReactJS, VueJS, etc) are not so far removed from basic HTML, CSS or JavaScript that this should be a problem. The author mentions that they tried to make a login page in vanilla JS and CSS and got bored, because you can't just add a class to a component and have it turn out nicely styled. Problem is that's not actually a feature of any framework mentioned. It's a feature of libraries that are sometimes added on top of a framework but not the framework itself. Erosion of fundamental skills is maybe a "dependency" trap, but almost certainly not a "framework" trap.
