The Great De-Frameworking: Why AI Makes Native Code Cool Again

AI tools like Copilot are dismantling reliance on frameworks such as React, Tailwind, and Next.js, ushering in "de-frameworking." They generate efficient native JavaScript, CSS, and Web Components faster than framework experts, escaping upgrade hell and dependency issues. Developers regain code ownership, building maintainable projects that age gracefully. Frameworks offered short-term boosts but created treadmills; AI returns simplicity, letting humans focus on logic over scaffolding maintenance.
