What an unusual take to see on HN.

I love my modern frontend tools: frameworks that put state first and let me work with lots of data instead of endlessly fiddling with the dom, linters and code formatters that eliminate the need to think about whitespace and optional parens, build tools that let me target old browsers without writing additional code, intellisense that tells me what types of arguments a function accepts.

I still build a lot of things in vanilla JS, but ease of getting going is a tradeoff, because eventually I miss having prettier and typescript.
