Frontend frameworks often have better developer experience. I want to use one because it’s less annoying to do thing like template HTML with editor completions, than using HTML. Another theoretical advantage is that you can get better colocation of content, style and functionality. Basic JS is pretty annoying to write. It reminds me of using goto for control flow. It’s a lot cleaner to be able to put functionality alongside the document structure. Of course, you can use HTML + CSS + JS but you can also use Assembly for all code. But the end solution here is not Frontend frameworks. I think it’s time browsers give us a better abstraction to HTML + CSS + JS. Webassembly and friends are nice, but I think the 3 fundamentally need to be replaced together in a performant way such that the simple case of no client side code is well optimised. Frontend frameworks are just a symptom of the problem which is that Web devs have to use the only abstraction creation mechanism available to get nicer development properties.
