I'm not trolling you, I'm exhorting you to stop pushing extra frameworks for things that there should not be frameworks for.

The issue is not that one or another approach is always better, it's that the entire act of lobbing another framework onto the stack that a dev has to familiarize themselves with only adds to the confusion.

Rails worked because it contained everything in one package. The success of that model poisoned everybody's mind into believing there had to be "opinionated" frameworks to manage other (extremely simple) frameworks and has contributed greatly to the mire of misdirection that is modern front end development.

It's a case of not even wrong.
