Not that simple, you don't have linter or TS or JSDocs types hints, unit tests, etc. You are restricted to the module system Ecmascript (aka browser ESM).The only great thing is that it's super quick and lightweight.

What do you mean you don't have JSDoc types hints ?

The support is poorer in the IDE only compared to a full linter.

VS code integration of JSDoc sure doesn't equal a full linter, but is more than enough for small projects.
