Some of the better ones do most of the thinking for you in a clever and minimal way and seem to reset the status quo of giant dependency trees that take a long time to install and update and deploy (relatively to your scenario). deno fresh for example is a reset coupled with deno deploy. Its better to not have to worry about manually updating the dom and think of updating state instead just like updating a variable ideally. As long as it gets out of your way and speeds up results, it is a win IMO. It gets even better when its a super fast deployment baked in. Not fun to FTP as I remember long time back. FYI coming from simple user-land and I do think things are getting better when those resets happen, not worse.
