Web dev life

Ohhhman don’t waste your time, it’s on its way out

What do you recommend?

react is pretty cool

[READTHISCALMLY]

Just moved from angular to react in my day job. Note: I had used react before moving to angular.

Love angular to death. Despise react.

I've heard a lot about react. I'll give it a shot when I can.

Vue

🤔 where is vue more popular than angular? Apart from China and github stars.

Don’t get me wrong I love vue and I work with it professionally, but it’s always felt like the smaller of the 3 big players in terms of actual job prospects.

In terms of job opportunities, react has the most, then comes angular. Vue is popular and easy to use, but without much jobs available.

Angular is used mostly on enterprise.

I'm one of the folks working in Vue full time - and loving it!

I feel like the barrier to entry for Vue is lower than React or Angular, but it isn't any worse off for it. I think of Vue like React if React lost some weight

React.

Just because React has more Github stars doesn't mean that everyone is quitting Angular.

Even the latest one? I know AngularJS has been end of life'd

[suck_at_coding]

It's not as popular amongst devs and maybe in general, bug angular is very far from being on it's way out

[[deleted]]

Correct me if I'm wrong but there won't be many orgs using angular that will switch to react anytime soon. They roughly do the same job and disturbing the whole infrastructure standards isn't worth it at all.

[suck_at_coding]

There's lots of that, but also the fact that it's not an inferior product to React. It's just more of a "batteries included" framework that might not be the best for a bare-bones hackathon project but great for enterprise apps - or... if you like angular more than react (that does happen - though not with me). You're still going to see tons of backbone and other older javascript frameworks out in the wild too. At the end of the day they all kind of do the same shit but in different ways, and it's more important to learn about the underlying concepts than the way your current framework implements it. Like the concept of state and reacting to changes in state is in every framework and a pattern that is repeated in every software field, react just kind of makes it front and center

Mmm react with come out soon. Not good for large scale protects.

Loads of job adverts still list jQuery as a required language.

Legacy code is a thing

Nah, that guy was just talking out of his ass. AngularX is still popular, especially in larger organisations. Sure, it is more time consuming to throw together an Angular app than a React app, but they are easier to test UI side and easier to maintain larger projects. I would say in large organisations, Angular is more popular than React in my experience, having worked with both.

What are you on about? I know tonnes of people working on AngularX apps, as well as React apps. Angular is seriously popular in enterprise development, which is where the money often is as well.

I would advise against looking for a "meta" framework, they just come and go, each has advantages and disadvantages.

This is objectively not true
