What is your favorite frontend framework?

I've used Vue in the past, but recently I've fallen in love with Svelte.

Do you use a frontend framework for your web-dev shenanigans?

  • If so, which is your favorite?
  • If not, why not?

React!

Why I love it

It feels natural and I love how it makes everything easier to understand - it's the ideal UI framework for me. I know why things happen and when I can expect things to break and work. It's easy to reason about and there's no truly unexpected bugs that take a long time to debug - a common occurrence with things like jQuery for me.

Why I hate it

It's a little verbose and you do have to learn how to wield it (folder structure, etc - there's no true framework yet except for NextJS which is the closest that comes to something like Rails).

I've never used react but just always had a weird aversion to it haha

But I can see your points, when something works for ya, it just works.

Heard good things about Elm like you can write whole frontend without testing it because compiler is so friendly that it tells you most of the errors. Not a framework exactly but a transpiled language.

I've wanted to understand elm! It's a little hard to though, what's the best tutorial?

I like Svelte because it's like on how you develop web in the early days before VDOM exists and Elm because of the beauty of their error checker. However, I'm interested in CJSS concept 😄

VueJS 😍️

It's super simple, intuitive and makes development fun again! Documentation is great and with stuff like quasar.dev it's a super powerful cross-platform frontend dev-tool.

Seen VueJS everywhere, never looked into until now. I'm impressed! I'm probably going to use this for my next project next week 👌 Not sure if it's the best fit, but it's a app based around a table with product info such as price, inventory stock, rank etc. I want to be able to sort by clicking the title etc.

I saw the next version of Vue and they're introducing something like React's withState… looks pretty cool.

Day 2 of using Vue, and it's now my favorite. However, that's very biased because it's the first framework I've really tried 😂 I wish I knew about this before creating Venture Cost…

Haha, honeymoon stage. I get that with every framework that I take past the initial npm install moment. Vue, however, is one that has managed to keep my love even as I dabble with others. It's just so "fun" to use!
