Discussion on: You Probably Don't Need A Front End Framework

Firstly, It sounds like you've never actually been in a position to choose the tech stack. The reality is, it doesn't matter how much you like something. You need a team. And you need people down the road when your team is gone. And that means choosing something that not only solves your problems but something popular enough that you can find someone that knows it. It also means choosing something that has a lot of support so it's around for a long time. There are a lot of team leads out there wishing their app was built in Angular or React instead of Ember as example. I love development in Vue. It's fun. I'd never choose it for an enterprise project though.

Secondly, you don't know my experience level with anything. For all you know I'm an expert and author in JS. I've met plenty of developers like you over the years when filling teams. You think because of all those years they'd be experts but in reality they know one way to do things because that's how they did it for years and years. They can't do it any other way and as far as they're concerned, their way is the only way.

Thirdly, you are a very close minded, immature, and insecure person. I originally simply stated the facts but you immediately took it personal. I insulted your personal beliefs apparently but I'm not going to apologize because you have thin skin and are unable to discuss openly and honestly. You will no doubt have more insults for me personally because that's your nature. So I leave you hear to argue angrily and close-mindedly with every other developer who disagrees with you.

Open and honest conversation is the only way to improve anything or to learn anything new. Good lucky buddy.
