ALL I WANTED WAS RAILS NEW: A 50-step saga in which I have two things: 1. an idea for an web app 2. a laptop that hasn't seen rails development since 2016 >_<pic.twitter.com/4L2fNi4Q2c

Almost every framework adds complexity. There was a time when all you need it to develop with Javascript was a browser and a text editor. Then Node, Webpack, Babel, Angular, React, etc. arrived each one with their own CLI, package managers, versions, etc. Now it is a mess.

Sure, but in those days your JS was 50% conditionals by weight for browser checking. I don’t miss those.

Actually if you leveraged jQuery this solved all the browser compat issues. That’s what it was designed for. But people of today seem ungrateful for jQuery for some reason which is a shame

Right absolutely! But jquery is a framework, & OP was specifically talking about the good old days when all you needed was a text editor & a browser - no frameworks.
-
Plus jquery wasn’t released until 2006, so there was more than a decade of JS development before it wad even available. Those were the bad old days in terms of conditionals, but maybe the good old days in terms of approachability

I think that this days that Microsoft Edge is becoming another Chromium web browser, and that almost every web browser support CSS, DOM and JavaScript are good day and reasons for simplify the web development stack.
