JavaScript frameworks. They tend to make some things easier and take care of a lot of hassles for us. It makes some think frameworks are needed to make powerful apps and become a better developer.

But I'm seeing more and more instances of things done in HTML, CSS and plain JavaScript that look so complex that it feels impossible to believe at first glance, that they were made without any framework or library.

I believe frameworks are important to learn and understand, but they negatively affect our growth when used as a crutch.
