I prefer just writing my html, js, css, as is, and then transpiling to pack it down, treeshake, hash, cache bust, CSP, etc etc.

The amount if headache, overhead, inversion of control, mess, and bloat involved in frameworks tends to make me spend way too much time on writing boilerplate.

template and slot exist now, and modern js can do most of the shit fancy libs used to.

There's very little need for frameworks unless you meed a SUPER dynamic website that has tonnes of mutability.

The amount if times i see people load in like 3 frameworks and 10mb of bullshit and ten js files to make a fucking static form that doesn't even do anything fancy is insane.

Just fucking write the like... 8 lines of normal code to populate the form, wtf? Why are we using routers at all, HTTP already exists and does that, why did we re-invent http?

Front-end devs need to spend less time installing npm packages to try and magically solve their issues and just learn how to actually write code, SMH.
