You're mixing metaphors there! It might be lightweight but it's still a flavour.

It's still not part of the common browser API, so yes it's easy to add, but no, it's not vanilla.

Insofar as the discussion on the name "vanilla javascript" goes, this mixes metaphors.

"Vanilla JavaScript" implies "without anything added".
