> Normal javascript works fine these days for a sprinkling of front-end interactivity. jQuery is not even necessary anymore.
If you just need a sprinkling of front-end interactivity, you don't need a framework and you never needed it. If you're building a web application with lots of features, re-used components, complex data structures, etc., a framework helps you a lot. And the web today is full of complex web applications, since most of what used to be desktop applications 15 years ago are now web applications.
