I use Quasar and Vue. This is my hammer for all nails, no matter the size of the nail. I only write amateur apps for personal use (or a small number of people), on good networks etc. So even when I need to say "hello" centered on the screen I would fire up a full app environment. I do this because I can reuse my knowledge in all situations. Because I am curious and like to break what I did to the despair of the users, I recently started to use Vue + Vite + TailwindCSS + DaisyUI as a replacement. Again - a single hammer for everything, nail or not nail.

> I use Quasar and Vue. This is my hammer for all nails, no matter the size of the nail. Vue is great, especially with their Composition API (https://vuejs.org/guide/extras/composition-api-faq.html#why-composition-api https://vuejs.org/guide/extras/composition-api-faq.html#why-...) and something like Pinia for state management, without the hassles of something like Redux: https://pinia.vuejs.org/ https://pinia.vuejs.org/ As for components, I really liked the idea behind PrimeVue/PrimeReact/PrimeNG/PrimeFaces (https://www.primefaces.org/ https://www.primefaces.org/) because I'm not aware of any other attempts of creating components that actually work similarly across different frameworks/libraries and it's really good because your skills carry over pretty well if you ever find yourself exploring a slightly different stack. For what it's worth, the components also work decently (there's a whole list https://primevue.org/autocomplete/ https://primevue.org/autocomplete/) and look okay (with various themes available, https://primevue.org/theming/ https://primevue.org/theming/), plus you can get examples (https://blocks.primevue.org/ https://blocks.primevue.org/). Oh yeah, they also have their CSS utilities (a bit like Tailwind, https://primeflex.org/installation https://primeflex.org/installation) and icons (https://primevue.org/icons https://primevue.org/icons). I actually look forwards to the day where most of these concerns are less of an artisanal craft but rather a set of boring and well known things that just work well for quickly putting together a CRUD or whatever you need. That said, I also explored VueRequest for handling network requests a bit more easily (https://www.attojs.org/guide/gettingStarted.html https://www.attojs.org/guide/gettingStarted.html) and VueUse for stuff like LocalStorage (https://vueuse.org/guide/ https://vueuse.org/guide/) and while it doesn't feel like I'm building a crappy alternative to Vuex and the complexity is reasonably manageable and the usability present, occasionally it all still feels a bit annoying to deal with - reactivity, ways to shuffle around data that I get from the back end, props, various bugs... so it's not all good, but still less complex than some of the things I've seen with React or Angular.

  Thanks for pointing out Primefaces, I did not know it. It looks really good - I am just not sure about their licensing and price (I developed apps for personal use). The components look great and apparently one can also use TailwondCSS natively. VueRequest also looks nice - I use fetch to get the data but this library avoids the boilerplate. Thansk for these ideas - I will jump once again in something new :)
