- Praise: Vanilla JS is a solid choice for personal projects where simplicity is key, allowing for less overhead and more control.
- Praise: Frameworks like Vue offer significant conveniences for complex applications, making development faster and more efficient.
- Praise: Using LLMs with widely adopted frameworks can enhance team productivity, as they won't need constant context on custom setups.
- Concern: Relying solely on vanilla JavaScript for complex UIs leads to a patchwork of poor design choices and ultimately creates its own complexity.
- Concern: The notion that UI frameworks are just artificial complexity shows a lack of experience; they exist to solve real problems that vanilla JS can't handle well.
- Concern: Without a shared framework, team projects risk devolving into chaos with each developer creating their own undocumented solutions.
