So I need to create a nice new web app. Let's look at some cool JS frameworks that I can work with.

*5 mins later* Hm, Angular sounds good, is there any good competitor?

*5 mins later* Wow, React sounds awesome as well. Let me learn it.

Google search result:

"Planning to use react? Check out Vue JS first"

*5 mins later* Ok so vue seems faster than React and much easier to learn. Let me see if Vue is the final choice.

Google search result:

"Angular VS Knockout VS Ember VS React VS Mithril VS Mercury VS Ractive VS Vue VS Riot"

Nope, fuck it

    You should have stopped at Vue.js 😝

    @theZorgEffect This is sad... all of these libraries are great, but they do the same thing!

    Can't we just merge their source codes?

    @DRSDavidSoft It's sad that Polymer is not in this list. Web components OP.

    @DRSDavidSoft if they are same, there's no point in merging them

    There's this really strong framework that I've been using almost exclusively lately. It's extremely light weight, fast, easy to learn and there is a plethora of documentation across the web for it. Check it out: http://vanilla-js.com

    Yes. Use one with a community. I'm banging my head trying to use Bone.io but... I'm pretty sure the developer abandoned it :(

    I came from Angular and I'm currently working with VueJs. I must say, I'm not impressed. Yes, it's fast but I really miss filters and internationalization is a nightmare. The i18n library of Angular is so good with formatting dates, numbers, etc. It was fun to play around with VueJs but I dont think i'll use it for my next project.

    @Sauruz Vue definitely not for big projects that need internationalisation etc. But for small ones angular and react is too much, just my view point.

    React is easy and has pretty good support and its also bleeds into mobiles app like angular 2. U can try that. Or else there is always django! *Partial towards python just because it has no bracket scenes. Just indentation*

    I've observed people and their framework choice for a while. It almost seems like it's a personality thing.

    Angular2: You really like enterprisey stuff.
    React: You like to run with the cool kids, whoever they are right now.
    VueJS: You like to run with the cool kids, but not those cool kids.
    Aurelia: You like neat boxes that have all the nuts and bolts included.
    Cyclejs: Damn these kids trying to be cool, I'll show ya.
    Elm: Shave your beard, you damn hipster.

    This was me weeks ago until I realised the project was just a simple website with so little interactivity. 2 files of vanilla js did all the needed work (animated responsive menu and a few popups).

    I still find myself more productive without relearning a new framework every 6 months. As long as the app is rather simple, it makes my life so much happier!

    No one gonna vote for ASP.NET MVC 5? Anybody?

    Doesn't the idea of using c# in razor pages sound good to anyone.

    big problem with most modern javascript frameworks is that they suffer on npm's dependency hell. plus, it's difficult to guarantee that your code would survive the test of time..
