Well, it's also a distraction machine. Subtract the distractions and you're left with a handy tool that improves your life!

I'm glad they take good care of backwards compatibility. React was the most common example, I didn't intend to target it specifically.

Not all frameworks are like this though. Svelte 5 introduced many breaking changes, with plans to deprecate the classic Svelte 4 syntax. So that forces many projects to spend time migrating to the newer version.

Agreed, appreciate the healthy arguments. :)

Thank you for your perspective (and the code example on the other comment)! You make a good point about debugging, once I'm stepping into the framework, it's like uncharted territory.

Thank you for your comment (and replies). This makes me realize that we can also actively choose which patterns of a framework we want to use, and which aspects of a project are better built to work independently.

Also, so cool that you got to know Silver! Their team is small but very talented, I look up to them a lot.

Thanks for the reference! Yep, part of why I made this post is to see how I can avoid the innerHTML attribute. Do you think Obsidian's use of dompurify is closely related to their choice of going vanilla?

Exactly what I was looking for! Thank you! :)
