Frameworks automate the boilerplate away so you can focus on the things that deliver business value. Clients ultimately don't care how their problem gets solved, but from your perspective you're better off spending 1 hour implementing the business logic rather than that + an extra 10 hours implementing a URL routing system, database access/management/migrations, etc.

No fishing. Just a dev looking for HN recommendation to avoid missing out on a good framework fitting my needs. Thanks for your idea. Going vanilla JS/PHP to build modern web apps can get complicated real quick I think. I'd prefer a framework to take care of all the plumbings (route, state, binding, SSR etc.) so that I just throw in the app UI & logic.
