I prefer a vanilla approach and tend to steer clear of using JavaScript frameworks if I can help it. Not that I have anything against JavaScript frameworks. I think they can be wonderfully powerful tools if we first keep the user in mind rather than prioritising the developer experience. At the moment I don’t think we’re getting that balance quite right.

Saying that, I think frameworks like Svelte, Astro, (and possibly Vue.js), are helping redress this imbalance.
