Do web frameworks still matter in the age of vibe coding? A former framework maintainer weighs in
rseroter · x · 2026-09-25
A long-form essay by a former full-time open-source framework maintainer asks whether web frameworks still matter in the age of vibe coding and agentic programming. React has won and nobody inspects implementation details anymore, but the author argues frameworks remain important: we don't need AI-invented abstractions with unproven security and function. The piece explores whether the industry will lock into the most stable option forever or whether niches open room for new frameworks.
