It depends on the scale of your project. Not using a cement mixer is a breath of fresh air if you just need the mortar to fix a single brick.

I don’t feel like vanilla js is ever a breath of fresh air.

#6I love these type of showcases. It‘s been a wonderful time when simply upload files via SFTP and had a running application. No need of webpack bundles, vendor libraries to achieve a simple functionality that could be solved in a few lines of code ...
I really do hope this kind of developer attitude (writing pure VanillaJS) is coming back.

Indeed. The cycle will be complete once Angular meets the fate of its predecessor, Flash.

Blatant self-promotion; I just did a asteroids style game: https://github.com/BarnabyShearer/kibblekhaos
WebGL, Web workers, Web Audio but no libraries.

Until we rediscover that manually keeping the DOM up-to-date is tedious and error prone for almost any project and switch to a good middle ground such as Preact or React without a build step

There's a reason why a lot of those libraries and tools are used though. Webpack bundles are used to strip down multiple JS files and libraries into a single bundle that contains only what is needed to run a particular application. Libraries like React serve a purpose too, particularly when you're building large applications that need to be maintained by many people all at once, or when you need insane compatibility (e.g. IE 11, the old Edge, etc.)
Is there a need for these tools all the time? No. But are there valid use cases? Absolutely yes.
