I have framework fatigue. I find they’re usually trying to crack a nut with a sledgehammer. If the solution isn’t going to be worked on by a bunch of developers with similar skillsets, why not take the best paradigms from frameworks you’ve worked with and make your own cut down framework? I did it for my tiny brochure site. Total MVC (relevant to my site only) for 2kb - although I’ve not made it compatible with IE8. Also, there are many ways to help performance. Using asynchronous loading where possible, using compression, minification, caching where possible. Use of local storage can help too. If you’re interested, this is my site: http://web-dewd.com. Btw, happy to post unminified js if you’d like to see it.
