I fail to see how is any framework code is easier to debug than vanilla js.

React is pain to debug unless internal React error catching logic fires

With vanilla js, things are as simple as putting breakpoints in code and running it in Chrome's standard debugger

I'd love to see the code of your vanilla js SPA :) Or does the server render the HTML, and JS just adds a little bit of interactions? Because then you are right, you may not necessarily need React (but it can also render on the server)
