I totally have the same view. At least I did when I was focused on them. Now I barely think about them at all. Something pernicious about it, isn't it? The deliberate over-engineering of false complexity to bog down potential competitors! Shed a tear for the billions of human hours wasted by millions of startups on stupid ideas in these frameworks! A junior would get a nice sense of mastery from figuring what the hell the framework authors must've been thinking when they designed it ass-backwards lol, totally! But I also feel like it would ruin that junior's brain! I always avoided them, luckily my aesthetic intuition totally warned me off kept me miles away. I am not poisoning myself with that hahaha! :) Hopefully no acolytes encounter these comments - the medicine will be too bitter for them. Your answer is the vibe of a whole era (2010s shiny engineering), thank you!
