I was very good at making reliable apps and managing states manually in the jquery days. Having a scaffolding helps overall and in many ways, but now in the dense jungle that is the JS "ecosystem", there is sometimes a productivity loss searching for "the right way to do X in framework Y" or troubleshooting underlying tools instead of just writing the code to do the thing. Easier, maybe, but not at all satisfying.
- scaryclam 5y agoI think the trick is, that state needs to be carefully considered at an overall systems level, not just client vs server. That's quite hard, so many (most?) devs don't do it. Certainly, I've seen state managed well using jquery, and even vanilla JS in the ES5 era, so frameworks don't make it possible, it's always been so. So the question is, do frameworks make it easier? I don't think they really do. I think they make it easier to manipulate state, but not designing your system will still mean state being mismanaged.
