The most amazing and irritating thing about JS frameworks is that every week you find something better.
- jbeja 13y agoUgh, tell me about it :P. But is more something with a different approach than better most of the time. And others times are things that are already there since the beginning of time but remain overlooked
- _random_ 13y agoPick one every _other_ project. This way you will at least skip the ones that will die in that period.
- Joeri 13y agoAnd then you decide on one to do a really big single page app (100.000 lines of code) and end up stuck on a legacy codebase watching the pretty new frameworks sailing by. (Happened to me on an ExtJS codebase started in 2008.)
- bokchoi 13y agoYep, I'm in the same boat. And good luck upgrading ExtJS 3.x to 4.x. Occasionally minor point releases are painful to upgrade to as well. Good lord.
- lightblade 13y agoHa! We're even having trouble going from 4.0 to 4.1 Not really funny come to think of it :(
- k__ 13y agoI started with 4.0 and switched to 4.1 and 4.2 without any problems. But yes, I heared 3 to 4 should be a PITA
- Cthulhu_ 13y agoLikewise; we started building a BackboneJS app two years ago; in the meantime, I'm rebuilding it in Angular for mobile devices, while the main development is going to port the big app to Angular too. Fun fact: Angular is older than Backbone (first commit to angular was four years ago).
- Narretz 13y agoI am also kind of worried that now angular.js has quite a high adoption, and plugins / modules becoming better and better, the devs will focus on angular 2.0. Not only will it use new core technology, but they'll have less time working on the 1.x branch. With over 1000 open issues, this is not a good sign.
- iSnow 13y agoI think the only viable route is to migrate to Angular 2 - the evolution of JS frameworks is way to dynamic to stick with older versions.
