While I mostly agree with you on this post being ridiculous and anachronistic but I will contend you on: > Language syntax has nothing to do with framework features, and especially things like writing UI components, managing state, and updating the DOM. Think of how much less useful jQuery is in 2021 than it was in 2008. That's largely because the language has advanced. The set of things that a framework has to solve has shifted because a larger set of those things can be consistently and easily handled by the language itself. These days most of what a framework does is give a consistent approach to allow for simpler collaboration. Maybe an argument could be made for building against a framework in order to easily access plugins or things like react native? I almost never use frameworks of any kind anymore and I think a solid style guide could replace the value of a framework in many cases.
