Of course any plain JS app I'd write would end up being a kind of nano-framework; for me, the difference is in the unnecessary complexity this approach would avoid. Vue, React etc. bring a lot to the table; sometimes I'd rather just write that tiny, less-than-ideal nano-framework because it's good enough and pulling in tons of dependencies feels unnecessary and might actually increase my app's attack surface. I'd like to keep the creature comforts of npm/yarn etc. though.
