The real problem vdom and more complex frameworks solve for me is dealing with much more complex state i.e. lists.

When dealing with lists there are so many possible ways of updating them (full updates, insertion/removal at an index, update at an index, ...) that manually mounting and unmounting single items by hand gets unbearable. You must then do some kind of diffing at the framework level to get good performance and readable code.

I would like to see "VanillaJS" articles talk both more and more in depth about this problem.
