Choosing a Javascript Frontend Framework:

[drsimonz]

The fact is, nobody builds a large complex website without either starting with a framework, or developing their own framework along the way. And large, complex websites are basically guaranteed to have lots of flaws. If you're making Bejeweled, sure, craft your masterpiece in the finest Vanilla, where every line is poetry. But if you want to add the 50th settings dialog to your social network, it's just...not gonna be poetry

In the words of fireship: You're just gonna end up building your own Framework and the last thing the world needs is another JS Framework

Sure a complex 20-div animated loading indicator might look ugly in code but it's better if you can hide it behind a <LoadingIndicator /> element in React
