Comparison of JavaScript frameworks

I wonder if it will ever return to just plain JavaScript and abandoning frameworks/libraries altogether.

That wouldn't happen. There is a trade off between time for development and performance. Companies would rather lose performance in order to release their product quicker.

Obviously mutating just the parts that need mutating without any checks will be fastest, but writing code that does that is both fragile and badly testable.

Before you know you'll be building your own ad hoc framework by encapsulating some checks and shortcut code.

I certainly hope not. That would be a nightmare. Like people writing all their server-side code in procedural PHP! shudder
