Did you just advocate for...jQuery? Might be time to hang up your dev spurs, Beau. At the very least, see someone empathetic to your aged condition. :) Nicely written article...but I'm rarely of the opinion that there is a hard and fast rule for any solution without an understanding of the problem space. Vue is compact, and easily added on an ad-hoc basis and while I'm not advocating for it or any framework, there are good tools out there. We don't always have to be the ultra purists.
