- ZephyrBlu 4y agoIf you are trying to create a stateful web app it's true. Even with frameworks it can be difficult. I wouldn't want to write anything complex in vanilla JS. You also lose a lot of niceties with DX, like TS and components.
- dutchCourage 4y agoGenuine question: what would you recommend using? Both companies I worked for in the early 2010's ended up recreating their own (subpar) implementations of what React does. While I do agree the bar to get started on the web is too high, I feel like it's never been so low? React and frameworks like Next.js have been great to use. Much better than what I was using back then. I don't have experience with e.g. Laravel/Ruby on Rails though. Are these any easier to work with?
- throwaway0x7E6 4y agowhat I'm saying you do need to know JS really well before you even touch frameworks
