I went to a simple website developed probably in the 90's with a simplistic comment board that let anyone submit a comment and specify their name. It was one of the best web experiences I had this week. Loaded up quickly and didn't have any useless animation. Did its job of letting users communicate with each other. No complex web framework needed.

I think complex web frameworks are developed by expert coders to make their lives easier, supposedly. With little concern for other less-expert developers. But it just turns out to be so complex because they are trying to DRY the shit out of everything.
