Web tooling is still not great.
It’s still too low-level. We shouldn’t be writing div over and over with different interacting class properties. Something like SvelteKit’s level of frontend/backend integration feels 5 years too late.
Ultimately it seems like the web ecosystem gets trapped in local maxima (“put JS in everything!”) and really seems to avoid actually creating useful, productivity-enhancing primitives. And that comes from loving the trinity of web tech so much you cannot imagine life without them.

Even if you don't want to use a framework, you can use Web Components which allow you to create "productivity-enhancing primitives".
- Sateeshm 3y agoIs writing a div and classes really low level? Even if you think that, there are numerous full featured component libraries available for web, where you don't need to write a single div or a class.
