I just spent the past 5 days (re-)evaluating javascript frameworks for a project. It does feel like there are (too) many choices. However, I wonder: why are so many of these frameworks so opinionated?

e.g. in Tuxxedo, why would 'actions' be named 'add', 'remove', 'edit' or 'get'. Why not following CRUD or POST/DELETE/PUT/GET convention? That's just one example.

It feels like the front-end developer community tends to over-engineer things these days.

Those actions can be named whatever you want. The person who wrote the code that appears in the documentation just went with those names, they're completely up to you, the developer.
We provided opinionated components, but almost all of them are customizable. Actions, animations etc.. can all be changed. We allow you to use our default component names or adjust them to your liking. This ability to adjust defaults follows throughout Tuxx. Check out the documentation for more.
