Yeesh, you've badly misinterpreted my comment. Re-reading it, I'm partly to blame here.

>That's not an argument to have no cabinets.

This isn't the point I was trying to make. I didn't mean to piggy back on this part of the parent comment: "Have you worked on a platform that uses nothing but pure JS and fetch calls?"

I meant to respond to this part of the parent: "they are tools for developers to streamline development and make maintenance easier." I often find that the most ardent React fans will see "not React" and jump immediately to "spaghetti of vanilla js and fetch calls," with no further questions asked.

I'm trying to argue against React dogmatism, I'm not arguing in favor of "no framework" dogmatism.
