This. The quality of developers has gone down in the past 10 years and it's really hard to teach maintainable Javascript to developers. They just don't understand even delegation and how to do complex UI's in plain Javascript. Either way you wouldn't really want to because it just turns to crap. The frameworks have been great for companies.

Well, there we go. Why would that be? It seems a very sad state of affairs. A genuine question: what has happened here? Constructively, we need frameworks for different skills - why are we expecting designers and UI experts to deal with dependency management? Let's let them do what they are good at.

"Developers" is too wide a term, for a start. Cutting through the abstraction and thinning down the frameworks so we can achieve the same thing with less is a very different discipline to making a site look nice. Let's all work together.
