I'm a dev with a strong *NIX sysadmin background. I've been programming for 20+ years, started with IRC scripts, C, Python, PHP, Ruby/Rails, Node/JS, Go and Elxir. Full time on Ruby,Elixir and Rust.
My experience with this kind of stuff in enteprise is that you can use a framework anyway, but mostly as pluggable widgets. Instead of helpers, I’ve also used conponents (React or Vue), for common tasks (ex: search forms, autocomplete, etc...). It worked very well, or at least IMHO, I prefer this approach over jQuery plugins/helpers.
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.
