Completely agree. After healthy doses of React / Angular / Vue development, you kind of reach a point where wrestling with the quirks and overhead of the framework, when it's not strictly necessary, seems like more work than just tossing up some plain standards-compliant code. I like getting rid of dependencies whenever possible. I think I read something a little while ago that that's actually what Netflix sometimes tries to do with their front end - plain, dep-free code wherever they can make it work.
