One thing I like about having React DevTools installed is you can easily see which sites use React because the little icon lights up. It's a surprising amount these days; React is getting so popular.
- MuffinFlavored 7y agoI wouldn't want to work on Polymer or Angular in today's job market.
- rovyko 7y agoWhy is that?
- throw03172019 7y agoI think he/she is implying everyone is using React which means no jobs for Angular devs.
- koolba 7y agoIt’s even more fun to see the ones that mistakenly bundle the development version of React.
- judge2020 7y agoI've found that Rotten Tomatoes (although not on the front page) uses an outdated version, and the AWS console uses an unminified version.
- tannhaeuser 7y agoFrom my PoV, React is already past its maximum in the hype cycle, and I see customers choosing vue.js most of the time. I have no stake in this (haven't worked with vue.js, nor with new React with hooks etc.), but presumably vue.js is chosen for React-like MVw without the jsx/babel+webpack build step drama, as a simple js lib.
- UweSchmidt 7y agoWhile you can use vue as a simple lib <script src="vue.js"></script> most tutorials do "excalate quickly" and introduce the vue cli within the first few minutes, which is probably what most professional teams use to manage today's frontend build step (drama).
- ryanmarsh 7y agoI too have had several clients recently choose Vue. Not sure if this is part of a greater trend.
- danabramov 7y agoThis sounds like a misunderstanding to me. “JSX/Babel/webpack” aren’t any more required for React than for Vue. Here’s how to use React without them: https://reactjs.org/docs/add-react-to-a-website.html https://reactjs.org/docs/add-react-to-a-website.html Just drop it as a script on the page. Ironically, my understanding is that it’s Vue that requires a compiler for even basic component support. If you don’t use webpack or similar tools with Vue, as far as I know, you can’t declare an idiomatic reusable Vue component. With React, whether you use Babel/JSX/Webpack or not, components are always available. They’re the whole point. I think it’s fair to say that Vue is initially more familiar to and easier to get started with for folks who are more comfortable with HTML. React is more JS-centric. Even though in the end they render the same DOM elements.
- tannhaeuser 7y agoHm, then it's indeed a misunderstanding on my side. I definitely need to take a look into vue, but I thought people were choosing it over React because they didn't like JSX but would prefer straight HTML (though again, I don't know vue and how it would be possible for vue to render components based on just HTML syntax).
