Developers have a lot of power here. Encourage others not to use anything that's BSD + Patents. If, in 2 years time, Vue is more popular than React and Facebook perceives PATENTS is the reason why, it could well vanish.
This is a great demonstration of the danger of BSD + Patents. First it's Facebook using it for a great frontend framework. Now Github is using it for an IDE. It truly a threat to open source.
- noir_lord 9y agoI wouldn't bet against Vue been more widely used worldwide than React, it's huge outside the anglosphere and pretty popular inside.
- tomelders 9y agoIm on a project thats replacing react because of this issue. I don't agree with that descision, but lawyers. We're going with Inferno. Vue feels like a better Angular, not a better React. It's not even comparable to React. It's just too clunky. One pleasant surprise in this Facebook purge has been the discovery of seamless-immutable. It's far easier to work with, especially if you're using Typescript, which makes Immutable an absolute pain.
- noir_lord 9y agoInteresting, I'm on same stack Vue/TS had not seen seamless-immutable thanks!
