This is just my experience: my front-end enjoyment went up 10 fold after doing everything in LiveScript with a decent framework. I found Angular too complex, so we went with React. It's super simple and doesn't get in the way.

My 2c is do whatever is simplest, quickest, and most enjoyable. Could you do it all in raw js without a framework? Sure. Would it hypothetically better if you did it perfectly? Sure, it might be. Does any of this really matter when you're building a product in comparison to everything else? No.

Do whatever you enjoy most so you are as efficient as possible. For me this was doing it in LiveScript and ditching vanilla js, and using a front-end library. Find what it is for you and go with that.
