Challenge HN: Why we're Not using Angular, React or any other framework

Everyday we hear about these shiny new frameworks which promises ever faster web-apps. Sure, some of them might do what they promise. But whatever these frameworks do, they add bytes which needs to be downloaded by your users.

So the challenge today is, what can you REMOVE from your web-app to make it even faster? Today at http://read.navize.com we got rid of 60kB by removing one dependency from our app. We're basically not using any frameworks at all, besides some basic templating stuff. How many bytes can you save?
