I’m confused as to what PHP has to do with JavaScript front-end frameworks.
PHP deserves honorable mention here as the "it's not stupid if it works" of the JavaScript framework world. Everything* JavaScript frameworks can accomplish can also be done (much worse) with static HTML delivered by PHP.
*Please no one give me examples that cannot be done without JavaScript. Trust me, I know. But any business requirement can be met with plain HTML if you really deeply hate your end users enough.
