That said, I agree that for a beginner, it can be more overwhelming to get started than it was before.

I love building web frontends for hobby projects with vanilla Javascript. No build processes, no frameworks, just modern Javascript with HTML and CSS.

And when it comes to jQuery, I think it's wonderful that we don't need it anymore. Browsers have caught up with the language in a way that there's way less need for such a "polyfill" to make the code work for all browsers.

Simplifies!

@hamatti@mastodon.world CSS has also gotten a lot better in the decade. Recently widely available improvements like CSS Nesting reduced the need for using Sass, and a lot of people still haven't realised how much more flexibility that enables. Less tools for more directly editable layouts.
