It's what I keep complaining whenever there's talk about web systems, all these frameworks and libraries overcomplicate what should be simple. People have unlearned that the most important thing of any system is how the data is handled, the UI/UX comes second - it needs to actually work for the end user, but it should never be taken as more important than the actual data handling and the requirements.

I'm a massive fan of KISS (the principle, not the band) and this hurts my soul. Holy crap that entire methodology of that framework is so insanely over-cooked it makes me want to rip my hair out... wtf!

This kind of stuff is exactly why the internet is getting worse and more bloated even when you remove ads and AI slop. Absolute embarassment of a methodology.
