Frameworks function the same in the agentic era as they did prior: as guardrails to prevent people from doing silly things and to keep implementations focused and bounded. Yes, they still matter.

But IMO, React didn't go as far as it could have; partly because it is backend-agnostic. You still have to re-implement a lot of the same wiring over and over and you keep running into the same issues and vulnerabilities. Also React offers too many ways to do the same thing; it just confuses the LLM as it mixes all different approaches, it lacks a clear philosophy to provide the guardrails you mentioned.

We should be able to just deal with pure UX issues/tradeoffs; we shouldn't be running into technical issues.
