Indeed. Most Web document enhancements and applications should be kept as lightweight and simple as possible. Adding frameworks and libraries is often counterproductive in both areas.

AngularJS certainly comes to mind as it tries to "simplify" modular development by adding hideous and overly complicated client side interfaces. At least jQuery's "modular" hoop jumping happens in their offline build process. It would seem to be motivated by a desire to add the "cross-platform" label by running on NodeJS, which seems like a completely ridiculous thing to do with jQuery.
