It's not an either/or. Modern Javascript is actually really nice to write and use, and you can write it in a tight, minimal way that doesn't bloat the page or slow it down.

- trinix912 10mo agoOf course you can, but most people still opt to pull in a whole framework (React) or heavy library (jQuery) just to achieve what's essentially a few XMLHttpRequests and some DOM changes.
- ganzsz 10mo agoMaybe because it is easier to track one library, react and jsx. I wouldn't use xmlhttprequest since the request api exist.
