I think using GitHub stars as a way to decide on a framework can be widely misleading. It makes the assumption that everyone who has "Starred" a framework or library is using it. That's not always the case.

I usually star something as a way of finding it later or just to keep up with it. Companies don't necessarily use what's "hip", they use what works with the most support.

I think it's just a small part of the picture and does have a slight representation of the community/interest. But anyone who actually knows what they're reading/doing isn't going to use that as an actual justification.
