Why don't more developers 'use the platform'?
Original: Why don't more developers "use the platform"?
Nolan Lawson has published a new essay asking why fewer web developers build directly on browser standards instead of layering frameworks and abstraction libraries on top. The piece revisits the long-running debate over the 'use the platform' philosophy, examining what browsers now offer natively and why developers still reach for React, build tools, and third-party packages despite steady improvements to the underlying web platform.
Why now: The essay reignites a recurring and divisive debate among web developers over frameworks versus native browser APIs.
