My feelings exactly, it's like people in tech intentionally complicate things in order to stay relevant and irreplaceable, or maybe using complicated solutions makes them feel superior? No one cares how your app works as long as it works, I've created large web apps using a small set of libraries and guess what - they still work fine after so many years. Keep it simple, stupid.

Einstein said that everything should be as simple as possible, but no simpler. In the case of certain enterprise apps (yup, such things exist!) frameworks like Angular are often required.

Required as in mandated, perhaps, but certainly not required as in necessary.

You say that, but you would be often wrong.

Anything you can do with a framework, you can also do without a framework.

Thank you for expressing that insight.

Amen, brother.
