My experience with JavaScript is limited, but knockout is what I use because it's what makes sense.

  Knockout is fine to use if your JS doesn't exceed 1000 lines or so. After that, in more complex apps, 2 way data binding becomes an absolute mess of side effects.

    I've used knockout in much larger apps than this. I still don't understand what side effects people are talking about when they say this. I don't love knockout, but I find it easier to debug than react. Mainly because stuff is synchronous, meaning the thing that caused the change is above the problem in the callstack. In react, a lot of stuff goes through an async work scheduler, so the originator of the problem is long gone.

    I've built frontends that are much larger than that (and I'm not even a frontend developer) and they all worked fine. If anything it makes it clear what's going on and when, which is important for the kind of stuff I do which has a lot of interconnected components which are constantly refreshing.
