Use the framework that has the libraries you need, React has a lot of ecosystem around it so it tends to have everything. You don't want to spend time integrating a plain JS calendar library into your random framework when you can just use react-calendar. So look at your requirements, check the framework for libraries and tools (like deployment, hosting, monitoring etc) available. The libraries you use are much more important than the framework. Do note that although there are plenty of react chart libraries they tend to be quite under-performant. Tying chart rendering with any frontend framework building blocks ends up with bad performance. If you are dealing with >10k data-points that update often I recommend using a plain-js chart library.

Which framework-specific libraries do you even need? It’s UI, like forms and buttons and inputs and tables. I can’t imagine e.g. choosing between GTKmm and Qt over “libraries that I need”. deployment, hosting, monitoring etc Isn’t this backend-related? Generally framework agnostic? Deployment and hosting is just publishing a Vite/etc bundle, right? What is framework-specific frontend monitoring?

  > It’s UI, like forms and buttons and inputs and tables For the most part yes, until you have a very specific requirement like complex drag and drop interactions or a complicated UI component like a calendar view. Also don't underestimate how much work it is to make a good component library from scratch, picking a framework based on the available gui libraries is important. I would say you should pick the gui-library first and then the framework. > Isn’t this backend-related? Generally framework agnostic? Depends, sentry.io for example has a pretty good NPM package that integrates well with react giving more detailed errors. Some deployment/hosting solutions integrate better with some frameworks (although it is mostly a concern for SSR or static site generators projects).
