Honestly, I've always thought that whether frameworks or vanilla JavaScript are better is very context dependent. If you're working on a complex UI where keeping everything consistent and understandable without a framework would be hell (like Google Docs or Gmail), then a framework like React is preferable. If you're working with a simple website that needs minimum interactivity, then vanilla JavaScript is probably the better tool for the job.

The issue is that much of the time, people seem to choose tools based on convenience/past experience, not whether it's actually the right solution to their current issue.
