I don't know "better", but FWIW I just went through this same exercise and landed on TypeScript and Vue, with Vite as my build system. Vue is 9 years old (vs. React's 10), and I'm reasonably sure that I'm not going to need to learn a new front-end framework before 2040 unless I want to.
I think the jury's still out on whether Svelte will be around that long, although I'm rooting for it. IMHO, the key will be the ecosystem that grows (or doesn't) around it.
- bufferoverflow 3y agoTS + Vue + Vite is just so good. I switched to it from React + Webpack, and it's so much better.

- 9dev 3y agoCars 20 years ago weren’t what they are today. Browsers weren’t, politics weren’t, heck, light bulbs weren’t. Things change all the time. It’s okay.
- thunky 3y agoAgree, but my point was that choosing Vue today because it will still be around in 10 years doesn't mean much if it's no longer recognizable and you had to rewrite your code three times to get there.
- 9dev 3y agoAgree as well, but my point was that this distinction altogether is irrelevant because the world changes all the time. Just stick with what feels right, and it’s going to be okay. There aren’t really bad choices among the popular options right now.
