Thanks for reading.

I think it's up to team or personal preference.

They aren't too different in architecture.

We definitely can't use JavaScript without any framework for anything nontrivial. That's for sure.

Although I get your point, and it's true for most cases, I think we can definitely use it, but we must know what we are doing and expect to spend a lot of time reinventing the wheel, but we definitely can.

If the frameworks can do it why can't we? I think it can be a nice exercise to try and implement some of the features the frameworks offer!

PD: I recreated the most basics of React, like rendering, virtual DOM, hooks, etc... it's easier than it seems!

I also made an Angular replacement back in the day, just to try and better understand what happens behind the scenes.

You probably making your own framework if you want to create a well-organized, manageable codebase.

Might as well let the framework do that.

I have to agree with you there!

I think React is less complex than Angular. React also uses plain JavaScript so you don't have to learn Angular's template syntax.

Definitely, its a lot less complex, that is the main reason I use react nowadays
