      Generally I find many these frameworks will make some complicated things simple, but the cost is some things that were once simple are now complicated. They can be great if you just need the things they simplify - or in other words can stick to what they were intended for, but my favorite way of keeping things simple is to avoid using complicated and heavy frameworks.

      If you spend a lot of time on a single framework, you will transcend and become a sort of frontend diety, growing multiple extra limbs allowing you to type in CSS classes faster than any mere mortal

          What’s sad is that web development is only a nightmare so websites can be worse.

          I genuinely believe it’s part of the concerted effort by the cabal to make us accept a ‘new normal.’

          They don’t want an environment where anyone feels like they can make a website. They want us to believe we need to spend years studying before we can do anything, and even then we can only do what our bosses tell us to.

      I think they exist because of ignorance.

      People who don’t understand how to do a task will usually choose the wrong tools for that task.

      If someone is trying to cover up their lack of knowledge, they will usually make things more complicated than they need to be.
