I do love that route too. Though I see this as a contextual thing. If you want to go for enterprise use cases, saving time, focusing on functionality, performance, scalability and maintainability becomes very significant.

I am learning REACT due to same from last two days and I see the benefits though find it over-complicating some simple stuff. Appreciate you answering pal. Have a great day!

Nice, but this works only for simple and minimal stuff. Maybe up to a landing page. Anything else and this totally breaks down.

Astro is very good at building flat static light HTML with no JS on most pages. It strips the JS from the page and loads it in "islands" only when needed.
