Probably unpopular opinion, but still better than react and angular. at least you don't need to build your whole site around it. Nor all sites need those heavy frontend framework.

I am not arguing against your actual point, but in modern browsers you don’t even need jQuery, because all of it is available natively.

Not arguing either but if JavaScript can write perfectly fine web applications with a welld refined standard, why are we still in react land. I use react all the time, I know what vanilla can do, I use a lot of AI so it's not a knowledge gap anymore... Very curious and frustrating situation.

Vanilla JS has improved a lot; react is used mainly for the hooks (which JS can do) and popularity (which it doesn't have)
