[curiously]

I often feel like Javascript frameworks is dominated by 'experts' claiming how the proper way to write Javascript apps is now to share their opinions.

I've yet to run into any problem that were supposed to happen using jQuery and vanilla Javascript.

Even outside of Javascript, I stay away from using full blown frameworks. Even libraries that you think will be perfect for your use case turns out to be a drainage of resource learning, and now being bent to the will of the author's opinions. For example, Celery is a complete piece of shit. The amount of bug, and workarounds that one must experience vs. writing something on your own using RabbitMQ or even just redis, it's clear to me. Same with giant PHP frameworks or RoR vs. Flask. Even microframeworks that focus on not being a framework comes with the some opportunity cost, however being better than the monolithic frameworks that whines and decides to leave you in the dark because you did not share the same opinions.
