Angular 2+ is a moloch, being integrated with TypeScript and RxJS can be nice if you need that kind of control over your data-flow, which comes handy if you build real-time applications. I'd still prefer Cycle.js over Angular if it's just for the TypeScript & Observables. It's much smaller and cleaner, but it has a much smaller eco-system.

Vue is modern stuff for old school devs, I think. It feels like Angular 1 or Ember, but without all the cruft of views, routes, and controllers.

I prefer React, because of its small API surface and minimal magic (a bit more than Cycle.js sadly), but its flexibility comes at the cost of the dev selecting the right third-party libraries.

I never heard about Cycle.js, I’ll take a look. The issue of the ecosystem and community is real, and for that matter it looks like the world of Vue has been growing as fast as ever recently. Thanks for your insights!
