The big opportunity of a web framework or library, in my opinion, is to provide an easy way for developers to do something that is hard or inconvenient, that makes a site more accessible/fast/resilient for users. Good tools make doing the better thing as easy as cutting corners.

I wouldn’t be surprised “soon" i’m going to be able to enter the text:
“Corporate dark-theme minimum FSE site with hero image on the homepage, contact, about us, X plugin installed.”
