I prefer to develop SPAs for personal use but with vanilla JS. My goal is both scalability, performance, and accessibility. Its hard to find employment that values things like high performance and test automation, so I switched to a different kind of software for employment where I was quickly elevated into management.

I don't want to go back to JavaScript for employment so long as its riddled with unnecessary abstraction/dependency nonsense. While I did get tired of solving for the numerous problems that shouldn't exist in the first place I got more tired of insecure peers who were always quick to point fingers. I don't have to worry about that any more.
