      This is an app where we can dictate the browser and require good internet speeds (as they are staff). UX issues that we do have on the app come down to too many API calls, not enough caching, and a historical lack of design input.

        For a highly interactive web based app with a ridiculous amount of data, vanilla JS can become very difficult to maintain. Had there been better frameworks around when it was built, we might have made some different choices idk (I wasn't there)

            I don't really get the whole next/image thing, just use an img tag, but whatever

              tl;dr: you might not need a framework yes, but sometimes it really helps
