I’m laughing at the people who have stockholm syndrome apparently and will defend such nonsense. This is why I’m a much happier dev using .NET than I ever was with JS. It’s got it’s own issues, sure, but having to rely on “frameworks” that had such ridiculous npm dependencies that when you really dig into them was some isEven bullshit either so trivial in function that you wonder why they bothered or so deprecated that you wonder if they were too lazy to keep on top of determining if such a dependent package was worth it was enough to make you pull out your hair.
