100% - React has won the FrontEnd wars. Anything else is great to love and to use in a hobby project, but if it's for a business, React is the one FrontEnd tech you can be confident people will still be using heavily in ten years.
Just compare the npm trends of react and $coolthing, then look at the number or active committers and the maintainer succession planning.
- camdenreslink 2y agoThere are still a lot of companies using Angular and Vue. Especially some big institutions that started using AngularJS (pre-"Angular") years before React was really popular.
- wordofx 2y agoReact won worst front end framework that somehow got popular and brainwashed people into creating a mess to double down on.
- _heimdall 2y agoYou know that won't last forever though, right? React will be replaced by another technology eventually, and in the web development world 5 years from now is 2-3 tech generations down the road.
- bigtunacan 2y agoThat's what they said about the original Angular framework and Backbone before it. In another 10 years React will just be another legacy front-end framework that some poor asshole will get stuck maintaining.
