It's well understood that the reason people drag in these unnecessary frameworks is often because they prioritise their developer experience over the user experience, and you're just proving the point ;)

For what it's worth, the developer experience is also highly subjective.

I remember when NextJs could not properly watch files and rebuild when files are changed, because it has a problem with emacs backup files. It would crash and the I would have to restart the watch, defeating the whole purpose. An issue exists/ed on Github, but no real interest was there to fix it. Just to name one example of dev XP that was worse.

The need to deal with whole NPM ecosystem is another point, that significantly negatively impacten my dev XP compared to rendering plain old school templates in other ecosystems.
