I hear that. I was refactoring a codebase and they used a special library for tooltips. There are two tool tips on the entire site and the library uses its own perverse syntax.

I've never got into modern JS frameworks because they seem to be utterly insane. If you need all that to build a site, you need to work on your fundamentals.

“first, install npm and npx and npy and npppp2 and then run ‘npz create-huge-boilerplate-folder’. Now go edit arbitrarily_named_file.yaml to add requirements a, b, and banana. Now you can edit path/to/hidden/entrypoint.jsx to return ‘Hello, World!’ and then run ‘npz bloated-dev-http-server’ and navigate to http://127.0.0.1:9001/index to view it! Simple!”

Yep, Microsoft doco is like that too
