One of the best things about working for myself is that I write all my web stuff in vanilla JS.
While I occasionally make errors, they are easy to identify, understand, and debug because the native features of JS are well-understood by modern browsers.
Sometime in the last decade, modern web development moved on without me. I can no longer recognize what people are doing with all of these package managers and why they are doing it.
I guess from a corporate stand point, it makes sense. You'd want your developers to be like widgets or sprockets, easily replaceable. Hot swappable. Otherwise these guys might build Daedalus-like spaghetti-code mazes and no one will ever be able to replace them.
As a one-man operation, I'll stick with vanilla. It's easy to understand and it works forever.
