I'm not sure if React (and the other projects that contain the PATENTS file) will survive the backlash to this in the long run. Vue.js is rapidly climbing in popularity, and Elm is probably going to go mainstream in 2018. There are alternatives like Mithril and Ember too.
- eugeneionesco 9y agoThis such a non-issue and affects very small part of those that use React it won't affect the popularity at all.
- rockdoe 9y agoThis is true if only because sane people aren't using React exactly because of this issue.
- scarlac 9y agoThe only way I see people stop using React is if there's an example of a company being counter-sued by Facebook as a result of the license or something like that.
- JoshMnem 9y agoMany companies already can't use React. The numbers will increase.
- delambo 9y agoThe stats don't really suggest that vue is rapidly climbing in popularity: https://npm-stat.com/charts.html?package=react&package=vue&package=mithril&package=ember&package=elm&from=2015-01-01&to=2017-08-19 https://npm-stat.com/charts.html?package=react&package=vue&p... While popularity might not have anything to do with your use case, it still means a lot in terms of ecosystem, tooling, training, support and documentation.
