One web framework I expected to see trend downwards for professional developers is Angular, slowly being replaced by vue but my prediction did not seem to come true. Angular is steady while vue even trended downwards. The absolute king is React. Clearly professional developers are choosing to go for it because it looks like a safe bet.

They are also choosing it because that’s what they know, or that’s what the project lead picked. And the project lead might have picket it because it is a company policy or because their manager told them to pick what ever would have the most available talent, etc.

I like vue a lot for weird reasons, but it seems vue3 hit some roadblocks. The boxed refs are unpretty, and now they look like react-metoo product.

I kind of want to like Angular since it's so nicely integrated. But working with it is clearly not fun...

Angular got into Big Corporate, which ensures it'll last a while. Horrible thing.

Anecdotally, a lot of devs are picking React over vue at work simply because everyone else is picking React. I was kinda surprised Svelte didn’t even show up given that people are calling it the next in line. I guess React will be the new jquery for a while.

The next gen frameworks like Svelte or SolidJS are much easier to use, still more powerful and way faster. I have no clue why people keep using the old ones. The argument that the old ones have larger ecosystems is true but not appropriate as integration of pure JS libs is very easy with both Svelte and SolidJS. I especially recommend people looking into SolidJS: https://www.solidjs.com/ https://www.solidjs.com/

Vue took a hit because of issues with v2 to v3 migration. But situation is improving. With v2.7 beta just released and major ecosystem libraries and frameworks (vuetify and nuxt) catching up. Then, there is a community effect. We all know vite and vitest are originally from vue ecosystem. As people start using them, they are more exposed to vue.
