🇺🇦 Anna FilinaWhy are JS frameworks so darn complicated? I can't even keep a mental model of a simple table with a few buttons. I need to add so much boilerplate code that I'd rather use jQuery. Either I'm missing something blindingly obvious about those frameworks, or they're just added complexity and weird patterns with marginal gains.

@afilina what's wrong with using jQuery? Things like React, Angular, Vue, whatever I find so over complicated too!
@asgrim I would choose jQuery over these bloated frameworks any day! I'm just stuck with Next.js legacy.
I remember coding a basic lib in jQuery so that values could stay in sync (elements would refresh themselves upon data mutations). My team built a very big interactive app on top of it that is now generating serious cash for the company.
This was when Angular 1 was still mostly unknown. Since then, it only went downhill. People underestimate how much *more* code they write with a framework.
