What I find annoying, is people making fun of folks that choose to “roll their own.”
The typical argument that I see, is homemade encryption, which is quite valid.
However, encryption is just a tiny corner of the surface.
Most folks don’t want to haul in 1MB of junk, just so they can animate a transition.
Well, I guess I should qualify that: Most normal folks wouldn't want to do that, but, apparently, it's de rigueur for today's coders.
I think we have a new normal now though. Most web devs starting now don't know a world without React/Vue/Solid/whatever. Like, sure you can roll your own HTML site with JS for interactivity, but employers now don't seem to care about that; if you don't know React then don't bother.
