Less code is better code. I also love vanilla and I am gradually learning the new stuff. To make something technologically complex does not mean - better 100% in purely technological terms like speed, maintainability, etc and even better in dollars value. Actually, making things simple is our big hidden task - simpler to devs and the end result to non-devs.

You're completely right, Toma. But sometimes a project requires some complexity to minimize complexity. That sounds strange, but the project we're working in (a saas e-commerce platform) is sΓ³ big it needs a large stack to make everything reusable and maintainable.

The big challenge there is to keep it simple nonetheless :)
