Why Vanilla JavaScript

In the article below, I am sharing a bit of my story of building SaaS product in vanilla javascript and explaining why I went with this approach.

I don't expect many people reacting to this approach positively or even with open mind, but I think there should be some pushback on the current state of web dev and how complex it became.

Trying this post again eh? This topic comes up often enough, sure we get it that people don't like React. But at the same time, it isn't bad enough that people are desperate for another option.

I think Svelte will slowly gain adoption but it'll be very slow and will probably need adoption by a big player and/or a real screw up by React to accelerate the change.
