It’s difficult for many of us. The end of the dream of anyone being able to make a website. If you need complex JS + buildtools

I'm right there with you. 10 years in Higher Ed, we still can't use JS due to accessibility, so I avoid it in all my projects.

Mighty JS being used where it's needed and also being abused so many times :(

it's not a technology that's flawed by itself. It's how we use it. (Though JS has flaws). Best POV IMO: @AaronGustafson's

gotta embrace it and mold it with your values. Alternative is iOS / Android apps taking over while web becomes less relevant.
