Hi Georgia, I believe this post would benefit with #discuss tag.

I don't have a favorite as I haven't used other frameworks.
I've only used dabbled AngularJS (yes, version 1) years ago and didn't like it. And now I use only React mostly.

Checked out Svelte 3 and seems promising as well.

Thanks very much Sung, I am new her so I wasn't aware of the #discuss tag but thanks for letting me know.

It's good that you are set on React. Always great to master one language very well. Are there any negatives/limitations to using React?

React requires a bit of mind shift (Functional Programming, Declarative programming) if you are familiar with OOP only.

And also React is not opinionated.

  • You can use whatever library with React (for routing, state management) at a cost of having to research what library will work for you.
  • You can structure your React project anyway you want, which could give you a freedom but would require a rule internally with other devs.
