Counterpoint: I helped a little bit on a fairly large project whose author was religiously dead set against frameworks, or 3rd party libraries of any kind. They essentially reinvented half of what a JS framework would do, except impenetrable, buggy, and all but impossible to update.In both the “all of React for one button” world and that project’s world, the same mistake: people not recognizing the tradeoffs they’re incurring.

@inthehands not really what i am talking about. I’ll for instance, show people yip.pe and they’ll immediately ask what framework i used. It seems like for some people they cannot grasp that such things are even possible without a framework

@zens Yeah, yeah, I gotcha. (And a delightful site!!) This little learning tool we’re using today in P-Lang class is similarly just raw JS+CS+HTML: https://mac-comp381.github.io/grammar-explorer/
I just mention this because I’ve seen people hear exactly what you’re saying and take it as religious edict. There’s an “abstractions are bad” meme circulating the last few years that just…fails to understand what computing is.
