#2Sometimes I wonder what the point of those web frameworks are. I find them harder to use than plain HTML/CSS/JS.

#3All they need now is a Twitter account, a GitHub org, and a mandatory CLA, then it’ll be a real framework.
To their credit, they have the requisite number of emojis to be perceived as relevant. And I applaud that it can be grokked relatively quickly.

#4Making it look like you're doing things poorly when you're doing exactly what you intend to do is a real skill. It's the basis of a lot of circus acts. Making your files extremely large to mock modern web dev is maybe a little bit esoteric of a joke to be compared to someone pretending like they can't control a unicycle though.
What this comparison says about modern web dev I'll leave as an exercise to the reader.

From some comments I read around here regarding the greatness of JavaScript, it would seem that a key benefit is that it allows more non-programmers to become developers. So, since I think it follows, one could say the benefit of those frameworks is that it allows more specialization and make-work for the aforementioned hoi polloi.

#6I don't need a new framework for that.
The app I'm currently working on clocks in at 75MB of JS before minification.
That's enough for the browser to take seconds to parse the whole thing.

Oh my. Oh my.
Please tell me there's some dead code elimination step in your pipeline too.

The dead code elimination step just drops the framework?

#10Have you tried http://vanilla-js.com/ ?
It’s a framework with a math library and ajax embedded, 0 bytes minified, 25 bytes compressed as zip.
