I made a small front-end for a web app before: http://johanronsse.be/skilliverse-10/ -

This is much more about what the framework solves: UI as a function of the data, no spaghetti code full of DOM handlers and cross-references that are hard to follow.

Now I just used Svelte for this project, which is indeed a simple website which might not need this at all.

Still, I invite you to do similar transitions as I have between every page and on the homepage without a framework.

I didn't see any real transitions. I think I might have seen a bit of fade-in after page load, but that might just be a browser quirk. If the fade is why you're talking about, that can be easily accomplished with just a few lines of CSS; no framework needed.

If there's some transition I didn't see because of the browsers I used (I tried two different browsers on two different devices), then it might be worth using the framework, but I maintain that I haven't seen the demo site show anything that couldn't be done with vanilla HTML and CSS.
