Javascript was improved quite a while ago. The first commit of You might not need jQuery was in 2014. But then the SPA era began.

Happy to read that !
well glad to hear that. By the way, you can check my latest post. you will be more happy i hope.
Vanilla JS will always be relevant in my opinion. Without it, Vue and Angular possibly wouldn’t exist. Regardless as a newcomer myself, I always enjoy learning from the original languages like Vanilla JS.
Looks like i was not able to deliver concept properly. The core point of this article was that people choose various frameworks because they offer enhanced functionality. I never said that JavaScript is dead or end(of course you have to learn basics to get to advance level). But now people are prefering vanilla js because vanilla js got much updated and the benefit of using this is speed. Vanilla js give ultra fast website.
Moreover, if you are new then follow me and visit my website Dev Tech Insights (a lot of content there related to programming and ai). Hope it helps.

Never actually gone... Vanilla JS is base, not frameworks or libraries

People are now switching vanilla js because vanilla js offers speed.hope it helps i have also included my personal experience and comparison.
React is not a framework ;) for the rest I totally agree.
Yes you are right! React is a library but the core topic is the importance of vanilla JS and i have only comparison of these two because i implemented them on my website(Dev Tech Insights). If you find this interesting, you can also visit my website DeV Tech Insights and see relevant articles there.
