Got into React around November of last year. Did a semi large project with Reflux and React. The popular Flux library before Redux. Not sure what's popular now. I hated every minute of doing React. It started off great, but quickly rage started to set in.
I feel like that whole eco system is full of wanna be engineers fresh out of comp sci degree that want to over engineer the hell out of everything they touch. A ton of stuff to set up.
I used Knockout in 2011 and Angular in 2013. Both frameworks were awesome. Angular improved on Knockout. React didn't seem to improve anything for me.
Vue is a breath of fresh air. I don't do SPA apps anymore anymore. Probably never will again. I hate the lock in. What is popular and supported one year is gone the next. What I do however, is bring in a javascript framework where it's needed, on one or two pages. You'd be surprised, it's not that often, but when you need a library you need a library. Vue handles this perfectly for me right now(until the next thing comes along I suppose). It doesn't make you get a PHD in the you're Fuxed architecture and isn't over engineered out the wazoo. It works similar to Angular but with less terms. I think more similar to Aurelia.
Thanks Vue team.
- scope 11y agoI too went through Angular and React, Vue combines best of both (especially after 1.0, pre 1.0 syntax was weird for me at least) The great thing about Vue is the beautifully simplistic API (not to mention the amazing documentation) + Vue works WITH the DOM (which gives it performance boost - contrary to popular belief) Thanks Vue team.
