Out of curiosity, which javascript framework is the most popular currently and does it change a lot? (Still a student for the record)

Start here: https://stateofjs.com/

Whilst the 2017 survey is still open, if you go through the questions you'll see the frameworks being talked about. Maybe compare it to last year's results to see differences or new entries.

And yes, it changes a lot.

Judging from google trends, angular is at the top closely followed by react. And then followed by ember and vue.

And I don't think that this is changing that quickly.

But I hope you are not choosing your Framework by popularity but by things that matter.
