alt Hacker NewsAs someone who actively goes out of my way to stick to writing vanilla HTML/CSS/JS as much as possible, it's honestly hard to explain to people who only write within frameworks how good it's gotten. Use the proper tool for the job, of course, but it sparks joy!

Definitely worth keeping up with as a framework user too.
Smaller bundles, often easier to use, less bug potential. Code's a liability and being able to occasionally rip a bunch out as a feature becomes baseline is always a joy.
I feel like I'm taking crazy pills.
Y'all know React and Vue frameworks still use HTML, CSS, and JS, right? We're using the same thing, with a thin layer of helpers around mounting components and managing their lifetimes...
Good how and where? That's a very uncritical take you have here.
I find it is way too complicated with regards to flexbox, grid etc...
Just do a google search for flexible divs side by side. Start with two. Then switch to five. Tell me the solutions that work well.
Yes!
I've done the same for years, and it feels a little bit like the IQ bell curve meme, where on the left and right it is like "vanilla HTML/CSS/JS are all you need."
