Voyager 1 has 60kb of memory, an 8-track tape and runs on Fortran. It has come up close and personal with every planet in our solar system and also Pluto (heh) So why the fuck do I need to download megabytes of JavaScript just to read a webpage.

My opinion? Because the in-thing to do right now is to use the framework-flavor-of-the-month. For large corps with large teams it does help (we use Angular and React at the pay-the-mortgage job), but I just don't see it needed for 'normal' websites. It's a crutch. I hope the 8-track is Creedence.
