> UI frameworks (at this point, React has won)

Isn't this like someone in 2011 saying "UI frameworks (at this point, jQuery has won)"? I think things like Svelte and other up and coming UI frameworks are still being developed because we all recognize that React is not the ultimate UI Framework. Perhaps we will never get there, but surely we can do better than where we are at.



This is highly subjective of course, but I think Vue has already surpassed React from a technical and ease-of-use standpoint.

Where React still leads handsomely is tooling (the official VS Code Vue plug-in is buggy as all hell), breadth of ecosystem, and employability.


^ React is just the new jQuery. We have people who basically don't really know HTML, CSS, or JavaScript but make React apps day-in day-out. Ten years ago the exact same thing was happening with jQuery.

I still cringe when I see questions on StackOverflow where they ask "how can I XYZ with jQuery" where XYZ is something that has absolutely nothing to do with the DOM.
