I've been using React in all of my projets since it came out in 2013. That's 7 years. React's (+ node for backend if needed) been one of the recommended for at least 4 years.
And lots of things have changed ! Using modules and building complex apps now with Webpack & co is so much easier than before. Not needing to support IE is also a blessing.
The piece doesn't say how mobile dev would be easier. Or how embedded dev would be easier.
It just says : dev is hard. Yes it is, it's a a full job.
Hopefully nocde solutions will reduce the gap for some use cases.
- simongray 6y agoReact - as a library, but especially as a UI paradigm - has clearly won the frontend war for now, taking the mantle from JQuery. I don't even use React directly, just its DOM renderer through a ClojureScript wrapper (reagent) and the high-level concepts are still basically the same. Still, when I glance at the JS frontend world people are still looking for the next hot frontend framework all the time, even if many are doing something similar to React. Going by github stars, Vue is the biggest one now. There's also Angular, Svelte, Ember, and Aurelia.
- maelito 6y agoYou're right. React and Vue are hard to compare though. The fact that React has no router, while react-router has 40k stars makes it a very imprecise metric.
