replyI think this point is what the anti-framework does not get when discussing the topic. They fail to see how hard and unpleasant it is to handle all the real-world problems that hits any production environment with a "platform" approach, and at the same time they fail to see how javascript-based een frameworks not only solve them by making them implementation details but also go through great lengths to improve the developer experience.
Just take a look at JSX. It's where a great deal of the complexity of the framework lies, but simplifies everything so much. It's the exact opposite of platform features.
This is the case with being a zealot for and trying to 100% adhere to any ideology. There’s a very good reason Linux runs on a huge percentage of world server infrastructure and virtually none runs on GNU HURD.
The real world doesn’t care if your model is theoretically better. At the end of the day, actually shipping things is what truly matters and strictly adhering to an ideology tends to stand in the way of that.
