On the platform, my code is split between HTML, JS and CSS files.
I like modules. They exist in some form or another in most programming languages and they are one of the few definitively good ideas in software engineering. Give me the ability to split off parts of my work with some public API and hidden internals. Works on different levels too, like with a reusable library that consists of modules.
JS has a module story. But HTML and CSS just aren't connected to it, without using something like JSX.
That's why I end up abandoning "using the platform" every time.
I dont know any other environment except the browser where code is split into three in a similar way.
