Definitely my preferred approach. If I'm building a website, creating and managing a build process is almost always an encumbrance. I work with some younger developers that honed their craft after things like SCSS and modern JS frameworks became commonplace. They can't seem to fathom the idea of building even a simple website without node.js. For many projects - sure - a JS framework, a CSS framework, SCSS, etc, have their place, but I'm convinced many developers are killing themselves with unnecessary complexity. Just wait until you revisit that old blog site you made with tailwind after a few years without updating the mountain of JS dependencies. Oh boy... In my opinion all of that extra complexity needs to be justified, and for a very large number of basic websites I don't believe it can be. None of that is to say I don't use (and enjoy using) things like React and Svelte. I am however loving the resurgence in simpler approaches like HTMX.
