I understand the confusion, given the existing terms but it seems the intent behind the name 'VanJS' is to highlight the simplicity and 'bare-bones' nature of this new framework, aligning it with the 'vanilla' aspect.

While it might lead to some confusion initially, with clear and transparent communication about what 'VanJS' offers, it could still work as a brand that distinguishes itself by simplicity - or pivot to Van rentals

I'd like to suggest my new reactive JS framework called "react.js" not to be confused with reactjs.

Might ?? Come now, be an adult and a thinking person ! Go down the hall find 10 js/frontend programmers. Ask them what do they think "Vanilla JS" might mean ?
