I would prefer frameworks over jQuery too. :) As I mentioned, there are nuances to doing frameworkless well. I definitely did not mean to imply a free-for-all. There should be guiding principles to the design, of which MVU is a good one. For interacting with the DOM for example, nothing wrong with using the React renderer library, rather than trying to manipulate the DOM directly.
