Nice site, I found some interesting stories. I do find it a little annoying that when we have these discussions about vanilla vs frameworks people hold up an example and I go there and see a news site of articles rather than a complex application, and I think to myself yeah I wouldn't have used a framework in this situation anyway. It's annoying from 2 directions: the first that people ARE using frameworks for sites that shouldn't have ever had them in the first place, and I can bring to mind a couple of news sites I visit regularly where this is obviously the case because of the silly ways they work. Secondly that this is then held up as an example, because most of my work is on very interactive sites so I end up thinking well yeah but that's not going to work for me is it. My feeling is that I could do vanilla but would end up with something like a site specific framework. My current approach is to use a framework and consistent patterns but to try and use as few other dependencies as possible.
