"But today it really has congregated on a relatively small set of best practices and the tools you see today are mostly the tools you would have seen two years ago."
Has it? I'm pretty sure if I were to ask what those best practices and tools are, I'd get a number of different answers.
- eropple 8y agoMaybe. But I bet they'd be the same ones those people used two years ago, or at least a really close variation.
- tchaffee 8y agoReact is more than five years old. webpack is six years old. npm is eight years old. nodejs is nine years old. Anecdotal, but I personally feel like things have stabilized a great deal.
- s73v3r_ 8y agoI'm not sure I agree. React itself, sure. But the tools around a React project? Same with Node.
- Izkata 8y agoI've seen a lot of comments praising Vue in place of React. Likewise, yarn in place of npm.
- tchaffee 8y agoOnce every five years? I'm OK with that. I actually see Vue as more filling the gap for Angular. React uses JavaScript as the templating language instead of trying to use HTML attributes to turn HTML into a programming language like both Vue and Angular do. For that reason alone I have zero interest in Vue and learning yet another templating language. I'm pretty sure React will be here for a few more years. User base is still growing in fact. And Yarn is a drop in replacement for npm. Took me 10 minutes to learn. If you already know npm, there is almost zero learning curve.
