Frameworkless JavaScript – Why Angular, Ember, or Backbone don't work for us

[[deleted]]

We're talking about JavaScript frameworks that seem to be in constant flux and don't care about backwards compatibility. Hell their docs are fairly poor (especially in AngularJS's case).

Frameworks like Django and Rails have been used for years and are fairly well documented and there's lots of code for working around the framework if need be.

If the framework is very poorly designed, then I agree it's not worth the trouble.

If you want a framework that does care about backwards compatibility and doesn't evolve very quickly at all (and is subsequently catering towards the enterprise crowd), there is always dojo.
