I think many of the same dynamics apply to #web #frameworks as well.
I've seen plenty of docs choosing between frameworks using the language of technical decision making, but every single one was a retroactive justification of the decision already made before the conversation even started.
Did you know that @chromium recently did some work to ensure that `document.importNode` and `Node.cloneNode` delivered a similar performance profile? They did!
That means that #frameworks built to be compatible with the web can leverage `document.importNode()` for templated content with custom elements which will get optimistically updated. Win, win.
Seems like something that @mdn would benefit in sharing with the world, right?
“Every framework creates its own orbit of tools, patterns, and dependencies. The goal isn’t to find the ‘right’ framework, but to build applications resilient enough to survive migration to any framework, including those that haven’t been invented yet.” — Den Odell

"Your computer is more powerful than machines that sent humans to the moon, yet it struggles to run a web browser and video editor simultaneously. How did we get here? This is the story of the greatest lie in modern technology - the myth that more power always means better performance. From 8GB to 32GB RAM requirements for the same basic tasks, discover why your "upgraded" system feels slower than your old one, and why the tech industry wants you to believe this is progress."—YouTux
