If it’s a brand new application:

For Me, I don’t select a front end framework: I build the application as is and slowly migrate to frameworks where necessary as we scale; don’t overengineer your website.

If it’s an existing application:

Figure out your pain points, build them in the framework you feel best for the job. Don’t be afraid to have micro-frontends with numerous frameworks mixed in - just ensure you only include dependencies once

I agree to some extent. I just think wasting too much on selecting a famous framework for your application is not necessary. But most importance is that you should know what they can give you.

In my opinion, a framework is necessary to select in the very beginning of a project. Because it helps you so much by reducing the time you would use and guide you how to do modern web programming.

Btw, What is micro-frontends with numerous frameworks mixed in ?
