What a great article (and huge polemic), I can't wait to see the next one.

I love the easy things these frameworks/libraries provide but yeah, I would like to get rid of them and stay on an "official" path.

I am a UI developer and not that much a front end engineer, so I don't go too much in depth with the algorithms, but I must know some basics. I love Vue because, with Vue CLI 3, it provides many things super fast.

I have some questions:

1) About Polymer:
A) I tried Polymer may be 2 years ago and I couldn't succeed in using it. I also saw its popularity didn't go that high (too bad, because I loved the concept), is it a library you people would recommend to use?
B) Polymer, if I understood, is simply a library of web components with a design based on Material? So using Polymer is the same as using web components from webcomponents.org ?
3) When I use Vue, I love to use:
A) SPA/router: Is it easy to create a SPA and router in vanillaJS?
B) Compilation: should we use webpack or any packaging tool like Vue does?
C) loop in HTML (v-for): is it easy to replicate such thing in vanilla JS?
4) People look like to love Typescript. At my level, I hate it. Because this topic talks about replacing frameworks I thought it might go into the same box. May be JS will integrate types in a future revolution update, but for now, it looks to me like something that comes and one day will go too.

Thanks!
