I find vanilla JS unusable for anything bigger, though. It was designed for quickie scripts on throwaway web pages, but it's not great for anything you'd call a web app.

Typescript, however, does scale pretty well. But now you've added a compiler and bundler, and might as well use some framework.

Right tool for the right job.

I’ve written some pretty complicated vanilla JS and it works fine. I’m not dealing with other people crappy code however so YMMV.
