I dont like composer, am I a bad person?

I didn't used to use composer either, still don't like the duplication of stuff , and as a Linux slackware user like doing everything manually, but composer comes into its own with updates and dependencies .

What i did to vendor so far is this:

Code:

vendor
├── autoload.php
├── codeigniter4
│   └── framework
│       └── system
├── composer
│   ├── ClassLoader.php
│   ├── LICENSE
│   ├── autoload_classmap.php
│   ├── autoload_files.php
│   ├── autoload_namespaces.php
│   ├── autoload_psr4.php
│   ├── autoload_real.php
│   ├── autoload_static.php
│   └── installed.json
├── kint-php
│   └── kint
│       ├── LICENSE
│       ├── README.md
│       ├── build
│       ├── composer.json
│       ├── init.php
│       ├── init_helpers.php
│       ├── resources
│       └── src
├── laminas
│   ├── laminas-escaper
│   │   ├── CHANGELOG.md
│   │   ├── COPYRIGHT.md
│   │   ├── LICENSE.md
│   │   ├── README.md
│   │   ├── composer.json
│   │   └── src
│   └── laminas-zendframework-bridge
│       ├── CHANGELOG.md
│       ├── COPYRIGHT.md
│       ├── LICENSE.md
│       ├── README.md
│       ├── composer.json
│       ├── config
│       └── src
└── psr
    └── log
        ├── LICENSE
        ├── Psr
        ├── README.md
        └── composer.json

if you look at main :

Code:

ash-5.0$ tree -L 1  CI4
CI4
├── README.md
├── app
├── builds
├── composer.json
├── composer.lock
├── env
├── license.txt
├── phpunit.xml.dist
├── public
├── spark
├── tests
├── vendor
└── writable

the only thing missing that I think is crucial is system ,which is why i did spring cleaning of vendor but left system. After clear out i just ran:

Code:

composer dump
//this refreshes autoload
