Vue 3. It was highly anticipated but when it was initially announced everyone including HNers were up in arms about how it's going to kill Vue. I can't find the thread but I do remember it vaguely. Thankfully the release not only lived up to its hype (faster, smaller, easier) but also put to rest almost all objections about backward compatibility. I really think the Vue team did an awesome job with their next release.

For me it was the opposite, but I guess it really depends on your use case. I was heavily into a typescript based custom server side rendered setup and I would need massive refactoring to be able to use vue 3 (vue class based components). The SSR story in Vue 3 is still very much up in the air. I switched to next.js with mobx and for me React seems to live up to it's hype more than I expected.

  Same here. Since React I'd say maybe Svelte delivered the most in relation to it's hype. Otherwise nothing special happened in the frontend framework world.

That's good to know. And how did the upgrade from 2.x projects go? I have got a couple of projects I want to migrate, but haven't started yet.

Funny as yesterday I was thinking that since Vue 3 release I had not heard much about it. My theory was that not having the router and vuex ready on day one had hindered the hype. Maybe I've been wrong.

Interesting. After Vue 3 was announced, I switched to React, and I found I liked it a lot more than Vue since there's no templating language, everything is a function.

  That's funny, I had the same experience. I enjoyed using Vue 2 but when Vue 3 came out and was totally different I decided I'd try out React again. React hooks changed the game for me and now back to only using React. I have no doubt Vue 3 is the bee's knees, but I'm rather enjoying React.

    Exactly, I thought, well if Vue is getting hooks, why not just go to the source directly? Also I got annoyed that many popular libraries these days are React only, and I didn't want to miss out.
