Saying this doesn't help anyone. There are many alternatives and as you say, they compete fiercely for Github stars. GetX is popular package, but it has it's drawbacks: maintainer and bloat.
- Maintainer: he's been known to make wild claims about his package, and target other alternatives with strong unbacked opinions.
- Bloat: it tries to do a lot of things. Integration with other packages, concepts and tools don't work well - certainly doesn't integrate easily.
- onli 5y agoThat's exactly what I mean - none of this matters. The maintainer does his job well and GetX does solve the problems it claims to solve nicely. Use Obx with a GetX controller and you are done. The other parts of the project, like the routing, are an option if it fits to your app. And sorry, I really think this stated clearly is helpful. It's not worth your time to even look at alternatives. Sure, that could change in the future if the plugin gets abandoned, but it has seen good maintenance so far and zero breakage. Everything else to my eyes is FUD.
- SpaghettiX 5y agoThe solution to the problem of having too many options is probably not best solved by picking one based on someone from the internet without evidence or comparison. The solution to many people debating is not to just pick one side of the debate because the debate doesn't matter - you think.
