There does seem to be some cultural inertia from the gap between when people made all the new frameworks and extensions to make JavaScript keep up with the advance of the web and when JavaScript got most of that functionality built in. CSS has the same issue where people don't realize it does most of what frameworks were made for originally like grids and changes based on medium/resolution/etc.
- SketchySeaBeast 5y agoI think it's the curse of web development. It's so hard to keep up with all the brand new technology changes, so once you know the basics well enough you rarely take much time to look back at them. And Googling "how to create a grid" feels kind of redundant if you've already found a reasonable effective way to do it.
- lodovic 5y agoAll these new features are nice, but not all users are using the latest browsers, so we have to keep falling back on these frameworks
- mkr-hn 5y agoThe only scenarios I can think of where someone hasn't been on an auto-updating browser for 10+ years is embedded systems and locked down intranets where no one expects the latest and greatest, and people in circumstances where a minimal page not top-heavy with scripts and frameworks is best.
