Ugh. Aside from trivially simple projects trying to go framework-less just means you end up writing your own buggy unmaintainable franken-framework.<p>And look at those code examples in the article. Such a simple app, and yet already a confusing mass of IIFEs, module patterns and whatnot.<p>Framework churn is indeed tiring but throwing out what I would consider basic&#x2F;essential tools of frontend (module bundling for starters) doesn&#x27;t make sense.<p>Besides, React is a library for efficiently rendering large DOM trees ... so I&#x27;m not sure what point he&#x27;s making by re-implementing an MVC framework?!
