Thanks so much for the feedback.
I did not forget to add isomorphic-unfetch.
I just didn't know about it yet. Lol...

About the open issues, react and flutter has 600+ and 5000+ open issues respectively.
Measuring the awesomeness of a library or framework by using only open issues and PRs alone is not a good yardstick. You need to include other variables to your analysis to draw a conclusion that is more precise and reflects the opinion of the community using the said library or framework.

Thanks for the feedback once again and i have mentioned isomorphic-unfetch in the article. But you'll be the one replying to any question related to that library in the comment section ;)

There is also the request package (npmjs.com/package/request), although for Node only. It has 15M downloads weekly while Axios has 5M only.
