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

    @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 :(

    @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!

    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..

    @stace yep. I'm in love with Svelte. The learning curve is so low, is very easy to teach the new developers on a team. It's just JS.

    In my opinion, the only frameworks you really need to know are vue.js, react, and ember. Svelte is also a good option but I recommend ember over it.Angular is pretty trash honestly. Vue and React are simple and fun to use.

    @blackmarket vanilla js is not bad though. That was one of the first frameworks I learned!!.

    @FrontEndLove I am curious, why do you think Angular is trash ?

    @ReverendLovejoy I did the tour of heroes tutorial so I can get a taste of angular. Right when i was in the middle of the tutorial, it got confusing and I just quit. The npm commands were too hard and the syntax was confusing. I prefer react over angular because 1. It’s pretty easy to learn.
    2.The syntax is simple and I finish my react apps in almost an hour and half. 3. The npm commands are simple compared to angular.I really recommend react over angular.

    @FrontEndLove I use both but I don't get what npm commands had to do with the difference

    @ReverendLovejoy In my opinion, I think the npm commands are to hard to remember.React has simple commands while angular’s are pretty long

    Finally, you end up asking on Stackoverflow or Facebook groups: which js framework is better for building a todo app?

    I always pick the tech that have the biggest community and support.
