I love buildless web apps with vanilla JavaScript modules.

I despise apps made a year or two ago being broken today because popular build tools had a break in some dependency.

As I get older, the more valuable time is, the more expensive build tools are.

@KevinJPowell But something else I should have mentioned is user comes first. So if the complicated solution provides a more robust solution for user circumstances then that wins.

[Ben Clark @theclarkofben]

@KevinJPowell I value readability over ease to use. In your example I'd choose the latter but ensure good documentation. My experience has been that if it's hard to read it just gets forgotten about or replaced and doesn't get fixed. People reinvent rather than work to understand.
