Why I still use vanilla js
Some people will sell you on the idea of frameworks before you have ever learned the ideas they are built upon. This is a crippling mind-set to fall into. Why? Because you are clueless as to what is really going on. Why else? Because if that framework goes bust you are f__cked. There are lots of more reasons too.
The reason I still use Vanilla JS is because it is ever-growing. It is monitored and updated every year by a dedicated source and in that you are provided with more than enough. Frameworks are cool, but Vanilla JS is essential.
I used to be confused when it came to learning a new framework. Now, when I see the way the objects are structured I can thank old vanilla js for helping me to know what is really going on instead of thinking of the framework as a totally new language.
If you have it in your heart, go to - or stick with - vanilla js.
