I've been down this path.
I've built my own framework once out of frustration, thinking typescript will make it easy... after a while I realized that I was just rebuilding chunks of existing frameworks and most likely not in the best way. Webtech is really messy to begin with, typescript didn't really save me. So I stopped. Sure it was nice to know how to build your own viewstack, navigation and state management and how to some newer html5 features, but it really was not the way to go. Vue js seems to be closest match to the way my mind works and built a very crippled version of it minus all the good tooling and plugins. I was also influenced by Knockout and Wpf/C#, so it had some similarities of what I used to do in those. I honestly do not like the way react works or the way it wants me to work, it feels extremely messy too (syntax and project structure)! I get the same feeling from react that I got from own crappy framework!
So anyone reading this, I encourage you to build your own frameworks, but think very carefully if you need it in production and can support it in the long term. Try to keep emotion/ego out of the decision.
