Vanilla vs. Framework

Plain, native code versus using a library or framework.

The comparisoni

✗ Wrong

I'm using vanilla ice cream for my app.

✓ Correct

I decided to write it in vanilla JavaScript instead of React.

The ruleii

VANILLA = standard, unmodified.

Vanilla is used to mean 'plain' or 'basic' in many contexts, but in tech, it implies 'native'.

Memory aidiii

Remember it like this

Vanilla = Plain flavor.
