I get Javascript fatigue, and all the criticisms aimed at the language, and while it's not totally ideal, I feel frameworks have helped tremendously by either being opinionated enough that you can do things in a predictable way (angular/vue) or are flexible enough to design complex flows and views as small, easy to reason about components (React/Redux).

I have seen some horrible stuff as an enterprise dev, from poorly constructed jQuery projects, to old frameworks like Struts/Stripes that just get out of hand. No real way to test, full of side-effects and bad choices, TONS of dependencies (outdated/unmaintained UI libraries etc). I often wonder if people complaining about JS and Frameworks have any experience developing or maintaining legacy web applications from the days of yore. Back when the web was young, there just wasn't a good blueprint for how complex web applications should be designed. We've come a long way, and for better or worse, the JS community has made improvements to the language, frameworks, etc, all of which make our jobs SO much easier.
