Is there really any point to JS frameworks anymore? I've spent some time experimenting with frameworks by using claude to sketch out similar ideas with different frameworks, and they pretty much universally make things worse compared to Web Components.

For most small to medium applications, I think you get a better inner loop, better performance, and easier to read code by simply using modern vanilla JS with Web Components. And the only thing I would change for larger apps is switching to typescript (maybe).

Any pain points that would have existed before are now fairly trivial to address with some LLM coding, because the sorts of things that frameworks solve are EXTREMELY well understood and are the sort of thing that Claude is going to get right on its first try.
