Building a website doesn't have to be complicated. You build a Rails site 10 years ago. You probably used jQuery, if you used JavaScript at all. Why can't you do the same today?

The real problem here is that not enough developers understand that "just because you can, doesn't mean you should." Once more of us get a handle on that, life will be better.

You can and I do. However, I am thinking of using polymer or vue.js as I think they are a much lighter candidate than react.js & angular.

The power of marketing is underrated in the developer circles.

If you still use Rails and jQuery, why both with Polymer or Vue? What is the benefit they give you?

Promise I'm not giving you a hard time. I'm honestly curious if there's something I'm overlooking.
