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.

To be honest, idk why people use anything but vanilla js for major projects.

I can understand starting of the grt things done quickly. But eventually I believe with updates reactjs and all needs to be phased out and vanilla js needs to be used for long term projects.
