And after you do it 2 or 3 times you extract the repetitive work into a framework. Not sure if you have never got to that phase but it is quite weird to see a programmer that does not like (or understand) abstractions.
Also, the framework worship is always a bit bizarre to me because the front end of even the largest of single page applications is relatively tiny compared to the supporting back end. If a developer is writing the entire application then why invest so much effort into over engineering such a small slice of the total code? It isn't productive unless it is the maximal extent of a given developer's capabilities.
A framework is composed of many reusable functions. You are really confused, arguing for this nonstop on HN for years. Not sure what you get from this but as someone mentioned, just show us the code and what you call a complex system developed your way. Code talks.
If you operate purely from convention then what does it matter if I did show you my code? What do you hope to gain from looking at something you have already dismissed in advance?

Just a poorly specified framework built on endless amounts of appendChild, createElement, etc.
Maybe your next magic trick will be learning to read.
lol sure!
Let's make it simple. Is there any other code that is open source that it is as good as yours that you can point us to it?
In the mean time you just sound entitled as though you expect other people to do all the heavy lifting for you. This is my personal reason for not wanting to take any job with React or Angular in the job description. While there are plenty of smart people taking these jobs because they need a paycheck these teams are also filled with too much immaturity. I suspect that is why so many of these lower barrier entry jobs are slowly being replaced by AI. The output from the AI might be occasionally faulty but it won't throw a whiny temper tantrum like a spoiled child with expectation management problems.
not even that, it is just an obsession and disconnection from reality. There are multiple benefits from not using frontend frameworks, React is really, really bad. He doesn't understand that the correct way tho he is right by pure coincidence.
Overengineered, slow, computing intensive and bloated. And it gets worse on every update since hooks were added.
