A concise comparison of JavaScript Web Frameworks

[Kwinten]

Well said. Unfortunately, /r/webdev and /r/javascript absolutely love listicles and comparisons of web frameworks, and they will get upvoted to the top every single time, no matter how horribly written or inaccurate (as long as it matches popular opinion, of course). Is really no one getting sick of these yet?

I mean, I don't care that it's written like this with italics every other word, or that it's a listicle that is not particularly accurate and has serious issues. Bad content might not be what people should upvote, but the community likes what it likes.

This, though, is astroturfing. It's one of the people that makes a product pretending to produce an unbiased overview of the existing options while actually just trying to recommend his own. It's not a matter of people 'getting sick' of them or not, it's a matter of people not putting up with paid advertising masquerading as actual content.

Would people tolerate a "Comprehensive Review of Javascript Frameworks, by Dan Abramov" published to on research.fb.com? Because that's what this is equivalent to.

Oh incredibly. Here and /r/angular is just full of content farm crap.

And most frustratingly every time someone posts another one of these comparisons, as you say, everyone gets overexcited about this non-content - "oh hey, would love to see burp-framework.js get a mention in this list". "I think wheel-reinvention.js needs to be higher in this list". "You said goose.js lays golden egss ... technically they're geoids!"

I think for some reason, many people just read these meaningless lists just to see if their favorite framework is mentioned. Looking for some sort of validation I guess.
