Earlier quoted context omitted.
Yes, please be that guy. Or I'll do it. Vanilla Javascript refers indeed to "javascript without a framework". So creating a framework and calling it "vanilla javascript" is... wrong?
I will up you. Using the word "vanilla" to refer to anything neutral, default, or basic is wrong. Vanilla is a sophisticated flavor, not to mention a precious and expensive ingredient. Most people have never consumed real vanilla in their lifetime.
What exactly is the "vanilla extract, vanilla beans" in Ben & Jerry's ice cream then?
Supposedly Haagen-Dazs ice cream is made from "5 simple ingredients": cream, milk, eggs, sugar, and Madagascar (sic) vanilla (which is "real" vanilla I assume?)
And what about the vanilla extract which I have on my shelf, whose ingredients are "vanilla bean extractions in 35% alcohol?"
Have we all fallen victim to a diabolical vanilla conspiracy?
