Comment by Marco Alka on "Which front end framework should I spend my time learning?"

Please, stop asking which framework is the better choice. There is no general answer. Use your time to compare the different frameworks with your requirements and then decide whichever might fit. It is a choice only you (no one here no matter the experience) can make.

If the frameworks do not fit 99%, don't use them. For production, prefer a custom solution based on official web standards, which fits the application 100%. You might want to take ideas from existing frameworks, though. I really recommend reading my article about VanillaJS!

Fair enough, but I wasn't asking for a definitive answer, just opinions. I've done some investigation and I continue to do more. I have formed some opinions of my own, but I was interested in hearing pros and cons from people who have actually used these frameworks as part of my ongoing research. At the end of the day I will, of course, go with whatever fits my requirements best.

@drum998 You are, as a matter of fact, asking for a definitive answer. Please review your question and poll and tags, which are specifically about Vue vs React (vs. sth. else, which is not even represented in the poll)!

If you want opinions with pros and contras and a good discussion, you should leave out framework names in the question and especially not include a poll. Also use more general tags and refrain from using specific tags, which will give your question a specific smell.

@maruru Again, fair points. Obviously the question and its intention was clear to me, but there is no reason why it should be so to anyone else. I'll edit the question now to try to reflect this.

@maruru I couldn't get rid of the poll, but I think the wording of the question may be better?

Although the answer and comments are a bit harsh, I couldn't agree more - you might spend your time learning Vue, only to find a great job that needs AJS. I spent years hating Wordpress, only to do a ton of it at a job I had. What works for 1 company, doesn't work for the next. Pick one (or don't and try to master Vanilla JS), get good at it, and see what happens.
