JavaScript Framework Hell

Any framework that improves the programming language is welcome by me.
e.g. SugarJs has been programmed with this in mind: I love it!

And any framework that isolates programmer from the language must be avoided at all costs!
e.g. jQuery is a Texas chainsaw!

    Input
    
    Submit jQuery
    Submit Native


function frm1_onSubmit (_event)
{
    console.log('frm1_onSubmit');
    //do something
    return false;//prevent event propagation
}

function btn1_onClick (_event)
{
    console.log('btn1_onClick');
    $('form#frm1').submit();
}

function btn2_onClick (_event)
{
    console.log('btn2_onClick');
    this.form.submit();//does not trigger 'frm1_onSubmit'
}

$(function(){
    console.log('attaching events..');
    var frm1 = $('form#frm1');
    frm1.submit(frm1_onSubmit);//add event listener
    frm1.find('button#btn1').click(btn1_onClick);
    frm1.find('button#btn2').click(btn2_onClick);
});

You can check it on jsFiddle.

Beware, it is a dangerous (programming) world out there!
