It depends on what you want your frontend to do.

The main reason frontend frameworks like React/Vue existed was to manage complexity, like state, DOM updates, component reuse. If your target is simple interactions, Claude can absolutely remove the need for a framework by generating clean vanilla JS without you needing the abstraction layer. But for complex interactions, using a framework is still the better choice, you can ask Claude to build on top of a given framework rather than letting it generate custom implementations that may break on edge cases.

So yes, Claude Code does reduce the need for frontend frameworks, but there are still good reasons to use them.
