I know this is BitcoinTalk, but I know there's quite a few developers (potentially web developers) on this forum. After working with React / Ember professionally for the last 7 years, I started to recall the days of vanilla JS. The old approaches to developing websites without massive frameworks/guidelines. Using python/PHP for templating and jQuery or Vanilla JS for simple functionality. Granted, this had a downside: a simple Github search by browser will give you PTSD like no tomorrow with all of the "bugs" associated to certain browsers. We all had our approaches, but seemingly after working with frameworks, I'm starting to miss the simplicity of a single javascript file per page, loading in functionality where I needed it, and not this over-arching dependency on frontend frameworks. Then you have the employment culture where companies mandate you use a framework for something as simple as a landing page w/ newsletter entry because they heard of this magical framework called "React" I know I'm not alone: Figured I'd ask: am I insane, or for the web developers here on the forum, is this something you miss too.
