I really don't want to give this answer, but: no, I can't.

The key there is JS framework. There are things that JavaScript makes easier than Elm (e.g. when we want manual DOM manipulation instead of going through a Virtual DOM system), but in those cases we just use JS interop - getting a JS framework involved would be way overkill for those use cases.

And for everything else, a JS framework would just be a huge downgrade. I can't think of a single thing we've built where a JS framework would be a better experience. Any of them.
