> Raw HTML/CSS/JS are out of distribution just like assembly (no one builds apps like this)

Plenty of people build apps with vanilla CSS and JS (and HTML is just HTML). It's a really nice way to work.

Here are a few links to get you started.

Plenty of people, but how many companies?

Plenty of people bake bread from scratch without a mixer, but few (if any) bakeries do.

It's also a good opportunity to use the platform, to get layering naturally.

> I keep seeing Lit gain adoption in gen-UI.

> Lit's plain JS/TS, no-build-required approach is easy for LLMs to generate and for harnesses to integrate.

> If a gen-UI pre-viewer can load standard JS modules, it can load Lit components. No custom Angular, Vue, or Svelte toolchain integration needed.
