There was indeed a moment few years ago when front-end frameworks/libs were changing at warp speed, but last year or so I think the situation crystalized a lot. You now have React and Vue as major players and Angular competing for the 3rd place against some fresh libs... and I don't see that changing anytime soon.

Every year this is said like burning man is dead. I predict a bigger react ecosystem. The slide of vue but the raise of the Quasar framework for apps. The rise of Angular once again.

yeah, you have React, but which of the 30 fashionable state-management libraries are you using? Typescript or Flow? What version of JS syntax? What compiler what minifier? oh hey, half of these just stopped being maintained without warning

I have always felt as angular was the second major player and vue the one in the 3rd place.

  It's possible, especially if you look primarily at the enterprise market. From where I stand (startups, SMEs) it seems like a lot of people moved from Angular 1.x directly to Vue, skipping Angular 2+ versions. I haven't been offered any Angular projects in about 2 years, while React and Vue are really popular. But it's just my perspective, global situation might be different.

    This has also been my experience. Enterprise systems really went all-in on Angular 1 for some reason (I personally suspect because it bridges reactive and MVC), and when it was time to move to a fully-reactive front-end framework, in my opinion Vue and Angular 1 are similar to each other in a way that React is not similar in relation to either of them or Angular 2+. I still can't quite put my finger on why Angular 1 and Vue rhyme, though. It's common wisdom that "If you know Angular, you'll pick up Vue quickly", and it seems to be true, but nobody has ever explained to me why. Is it the state management? Reliance on viewmodels? How they're more complete systems out of the box and can be reasoned about holistically? Help a girl out, HN.
