I agree with you, ditch frameworks for the web. At the same time, dev teams kind of build dedicated frameworks for the scope of the projects. Also jQuery is not a framework, readers may get the wrong idea of what a framework is, the GitHub removing jQuery example induces the idea o not using external libraries, witch I disagree. I do not think frameworks are "limiting your creativity", people should realize that when working with a framework you basically write your app inside another app. Your code gets invoked by the framework, you must obey the structure and logic provided by the framework and the features it is offering, with libraries, you call them to simplify your life by using code already available.
