I've started learning React.js. It feels really weird to write JavaScript like this!

    But do you think it's worth learning it?

    @pixelwiese yes, from the major Frameworks it's the best.

    Yes. We are just beginning to build with it but its awesome.

    Just takes some time to get used to.

    @pixelwiese I think so. It's very much in demand, along with Angular. React tends to pop up more often than Angular in job descriptions so I'm preferring it over Angular.

    I want to spend some time on Vue,js too after I have a better grasp of React. I have a feeling I'll like Vue more.

    They also changed the license to MIT. So finally can use/recommend it without any worries on tht front ...

    We were recently in a position of choosing front end framework/library. Candidates were Angular, React and Vue. After a week of deep research, we went for Vue + Typescript. Best decision ever! Our other division team works with React and everything they write we write in pretty much half the code! It's much more readable and elegant. If you're in a position to choose, you should consider it.

    @DanijelH is your vue code base getting large. Are you using vuex?. Is redux better giving clearer logic than vuex when the code base gets Large.

    Let's say that I'm *still* struggling like fucking crazy with React, it still feels alien as hell for me, despite me seeing that it's faster, more efficient, and more concise... (Any help/resources for learning it well are appreciated 😅😅😂)
    So yeah, I feel you 😁

    Pro tips: spend a good amount of time creating snippets and short cuts for the boilerplate code

    @kenpeter yes we are using vuex, they are using redux. Usage definitely payed off on the long run for both our teams. Code base is growing but since everything is component based maintaining and developing new features is a breeze. I cannot give you a fair comparison of both since I haven't spent so much time with react. All this is my observation and it's clear that react team has much more issues and question marks when some issues arise :) Also, Vue documentation is among the best I have ever seen.
