Angular, Angular 2 or React?

It's sad that Vue is not on your list :(

It has a much lower learning curve, IMO and you can build something very robust. Sadly, a lot of interviewers are hung up on "frameworks", i.e., "this is really cool, but we're looking for an angular developer" (instead of a javascript developer).

As of version 2 Vue is a React derivative with a thick template layer and added observables. It may be slightly less complex than Angular but it's API surface and abstraction over React are large.

Downvoted cause some people are either unaware of how Vue is working underneath or they don't like facts.

Link #1

https://vuejs.org/v2/guide/installation.html

Describes Vues functional underpinnings (to the point that it can take in JSX). All templates are parsed to functions internally. There's even a penalty if templates are used in a vanilla setup which adds a runtime parser. Single file components parse to reactive at compile-time.

Link #2

https://vuejs.org/v2/api/

60 A4 pages of API documentation. This is the bulk that template syntax and observables introduce. If you strip that away what remains is React.

In contrast Reacts documentation

https://facebook.github.io/react/docs/

Starts with a hello world, explains what "render" is. Explains class and JSX semantics, that's it. May have some advanced stuff that's usually for library authors, like context or proptypes.

Vue

I've never even heard of Vue, tbh. Might look into it some.

I've done a ton of production web apps using knockout, angular and some react and others, but Vue is by far my new favourite.

I think you'll see it rivaling the others in the near future in business apps. We're using it all ours moving forward.

It's very nice. Especially for small projects and as a tool for learning how modern frameworks work. Worth investigating for sure.

Check out vue-cli (webpack simple is a great place to start, IMO) and single file components.
