Are New Frameworks Replacing React?

[@david_sanchez]

It always amuses me when people say a particular language is "dying". Even in this video there's a reference to PHP being from "way back" but thousands of modern sites that people use on a daily basis are still running on PHP. Many of Panasonic's manufacturing processes are built on Perl and still being updated in Perl. One thing I've learned over my 30+ years in tech is that opinions without data are just white noise and can be ignored.

ITS DEAD, its just being used because 90% of companies cant be bother to REWRITE their legacy code. If they had a choice, no company would use trash PHP LOL

yeah, dying is the wrong term, no tech really ever dies... i do think these technologies are falling out of favor for sure. the vast majority of people who prefer using these older technologies are those who are already used to using them or already have established projects that use them. but they certainly arent dead and probably will never truly die.

[@DouglasWhite-y4s]

@@PatalJunior Take a look at the newest version of Angular, the boilerplate has been reduced dramatically, and they have introduced signals which makes the framework truly reactive. Angular is the only true enterprise worthy solution, and now it can compete for startups too.

[@calhouny]

​@@DouglasWhite-y4s I agree partially. Signals is a step in the right direction. Thought, Signals doesn't handle async or handle race conditions, resulting in the need for yet another third party library like RxJS to do so. I'm an Angular fan, but it still has a long way to go in terms of what I would call "exhaustive reactivity".

I'm a hobbyist (I was in the industry in the late 90's unto the 'Bust', mostly working with ASP and ColdFusion) but I always liked messing around with JS just for the immediacy of the experience. Over the years, I've moved on to other occupations, but in my spare time, I like to build web apps for my own use. A workout tracker, a searchable music library, grocery shopping list/tracker etc. And although I've dabbled with Backbone, Angular, React, Vue, et al, I keep coming back to simple, well organized vanilla javascript, basically using a Publish/Subscribe bus to manage UI state. All the components are on a "need to know basis" and only concern themselves with listening for events that concern them, and update accordingly. Build a store module to contain all your CRUD and XHR logic, and away ya go.

[@mmadictos5356]

Not at all, React leaves you with tunnel vision and probably if you migrate to another framework such as angular you will find out that you were making junk code all your life. I've come across engineers who didn't even know how to use ngrx or ts correctly.

[@JEsterCW]

​@@mmadictos5356 But angular is java abstraction and alot of boilerplate with goal for long term support of a project where usually you wanna make something in really solid way where deadlines doesnt really exists compare it to corpo and software house, so I have no idea watcha mean tho, lmao also comparing angular to react or some sort of is the most idiotic comparasion you could have made altho they have alot of similiarity and thats what Juan meant id say. You saying that you have come across those who didn't even know how to use ngrx... like bro... ngrx is such a complex tool comparing to tools like zustand, redux or anything else whats around state managment or reactivity. I havent seen more complex tool like rxjs... for state managment its like learning something totally new also all those tool are only used in angular ecosystem and thats why theyre still alive smh, its all about the angular abstraction and whole convention thats pushing others away of learning it, thats why angular isnt the most friendly tool for frontend development, angular actually due to statistic has the lowest satisfaction of use in developers votes and it drops every year in context of the satisfaction of using it across others tools for frontend or web overall. React is a lib and the opened ecosystem makes it amazing, its such a good tool that doesnt pushes any abstraction, its not opinionated and really close to vanillia js. If you talk about junk code and react you could be right due to angular usage in long term projects, the code is usually really well written due to high usage in corpo ecosystem, react is mostly used in software houses where theres totally different way of work and goals on the table. Each tool has own goal and usage in x situation, but youre kinda acting like ure judging all those from react ecosystem just they couldnt use in first place somebodys abstraction, which is pepega lmao else about the ts "correctly" part... angular is heavily based on ts, where its more strongly typed than other apps most of time, but it really depends especially that most of time you dont really need advanced types with dynamic generic props or anything like that and simple unions etc are enough most of time also generics arent seen that often in React ecosystem especially for components both tools have different way of work even tho both use ts the usage is slightly different. Angular goal is to be tight and heavily developed for long time in really big projects where you need really deep control of everything that's also why rxjs is used for the state and reactivity aspects due to the deep control of connections in pipelines etc. Angular Devs are usually amazing developers with really good knowledge about development and you can learn much more in angular about whole process of development especially as a junior, but it seems like you look at them like from the top of some sort of ego and i highly recommending to drop it down cause angular is like different world and mindset and i can clearly see it right here, right now.

The coolest FE stuff I have done in my career was back in late 2000.. and our Flash SPA:s with AS3 typed language, “easy” state handling, seamlessly merging advanced vector animations, regular content, streaming video, a headless architecture against backend with complementary third party services, broadcast/socket connection between clients etc etc..with 99% browser support. Then came apple with their new hardware that wasn’t strong enough to support that kind of content (and didn’t want to rely on Adobes tech) and a widespread opinion that the web should go back to basics more and be used as originally intended spread at the same time. For a few years we started doing the web just like that to accommodate the weaker mobile devices and cellular bandwidth. Our SPAs became mobile apps instead and the devs and projects got divided into app or web development. But we all know the traditional web is a bit boring so slowly we webfolk started to step by step go towards the cool heavy clients with the shajizz and shajuzz and fast UI response times again.. this time with javascript (that apple approved of) and ended up with heavy JS spas and frameworks once again. Until we thought.. hey these heavy client spas is not how the original web was intended. We need to bring more back to the server and use the web as it once was intended to function.. My guess is that 2025 is the year of the heavy client SPAs again 🙂 I am really likeing our ongoing project though with next 13, server components, type script against a backend/cms that auto-generates interfaces to be used by FE etc etc.. maybe it’s the perfect balance between heavy client spas and not.. But I can’t shake the feeling that we did cooler stuff back in 2007 :)

[@DougKulak]

I lived and breathed the same stuff as you back then (my very first job was a Macromedia Shockwave developer in 1998), and can empathize with all of your points. AS3 was really amazing. It's actually been pretty frustrating for me watching everyone re-invent the wheel over and over, and a lot of times it feels like one step forward, two steps back. It feels like all of these new frameworks are constantly rolling out with tons of hype, but a severe lack of features that only truly weathered and experienced developers understand are important. I don't know how many times I've tried picking up something new just to find out it has a major oversight and requires a number of workarounds to fix, if it's even possible. I can't wait until the TypeScript ecosystem finally has a solid, almost universal framework that's got everything figured out.

Glad to know react isn't dying. And of course not, there are tons and tons of framework and libraries depending on it and an ever growing community of developers backing it. Not to mention Facebook, the big tech behind it. It's easy and straight forward approach to programming with components and it's one-way data binding makes it simple and easy to learn. For me simplicity and standards trumps bleeding edge tech..

[@dima6488]

I'd call react anything but straight forward once you start building real products. The too-low-level abstractions it provides are too flexible for it's own good and it's easy to clutter components with hooks that are completely under the hood in other frameworks (i.e Svelte), and that's before we even talked about page optimization. Regardless, React isn't going anywhere as the amount of projects already build with it is huge and there is a large developer community supporting it.

I wish react were dying. By comparison svelte and sveltekit provide a smoother and simpler developer experience that’s much closer to vanilla web development compared to react’s abstractions and shadow DOM.

React isn't going anywhere since it's been the largest framework for years. The sheer amount of libraries and projects that depend on it is so massive that it cannot go away.

When the "socially acceptable norm" has become more bloated and complex than more primitive alternatives? It's like asking a 30+ year experienced structural engineer to build a bridge, yet a 5th grader can do so in a fraction of the time (queue the marshmallow challenge).

[@Diff3RentBreed]

A couple questions 1) will the React course include this new server side components? 2) a couple months back, I was trying to determine what language I should use for the applications I want to build and came up with the conclusion that if I want an app to change what the user is looking at often (such as having a chat box), I should use react. If I don't have a lot of render changes, I should use angular because it's more strict and robust which makes having a team of developers stick to standards and have cleaner code. Is that actually true? That chart of angular having less people want to go back scares me into learning it and makes me feel I should just use react for everything.

What I don't like about the graph (0:52 - 4:30) is that it does a poor job of presenting the trends. Whenever a new framework is introduced, all other frameworks get pushed down, making the existing ones appear to be losing popularity. For example, Svelte in 2020 was showing 89% and "dropped" to 90% in 2021 to make way for Solid. I understand that each annual column just stacks the items top to bottom, most to least popular. I just think it could have been presented in a less confusing way.

I don't think vue gets enough credit. It has composition api that very similar to svelte and with vapor right around corner it can be compiled without vdom very similar to svelte and solid. It also has a large community and ecosystem. Nuxt 3 for example is awesome for full stack. With Nuxt 3 I have switched from react to vue and haven't looked back. The mental model is so much easier, and with composition api I get a svelte like coding experience with a larger ecosystem and community.

It has less magic than svelte when using composition api which is svelte like. If you use options api it uses zero magic and you can even embed directly in browser unlike react and svelte. Typescript support is much better in latest vue, latest vue itself is written in typescript and all core libraries fully support typescript and bundle/export all type declarations. I can get a lot of the benefits of svelte (composition api), solid (reactivity and soon vapor), react, all wrapped in a framework that is the third most popular js framework which has larger ecosystem than something like solid or svelte.

I've been using Svelte (mostly sveltekit) for quite some time now (about 3 years) and I didn't find any problems I couldn't overcome. There's no need to understand "how the magic works", it gives a better understanding but all you really need is to look at the documentation. Also, react has a very large ecosystem of libraries but it mostly consists of wrapper for existing libraries. With svelte you don't need wrappers, you can use the packages as their docs describes because Svelte is so much closer to vanilla javascript.

[@andy-ally]

getServerSideProps from NextJs can fetch data/access backed only on top level while sever side components can fetch data anywhere in your components tree. And they have a bit different purpose anyway. SSR sends HTML to client and then delivers JS bundle for interactivity while server components will stream information in it's unique format and with zero JS bundle size. In short - server components will be responsible for fetching and rendering what you want to see (this will happen on server side which is way waster than fetching on client side) and what is left will be JS bundle that will be responsible for interactivity.

Honestly that explains how much people actually care about writing a perfect code. Angular is prepared for anything, these graphs are affected by juniors which actually doesn't really matter. Clients want strong and devoted developers

[@shubhendusen721]

I believe that a new framework or library can only replace older ones if it significantly improves the user experience, rather than just the developer experience. For instance, React became more popular than older languages and frameworks like PHP and jQuery due to introduction of ES6(modules) , virtual DOM, and client-side routing. When a business decides to migrate to a new technology, it needs to evaluate the benefits of doing so. Therefore, I think that React, Angular, and Vue will continue to be popular unless a new framework is introduced that significantly enhances the user experience.

[@andy-ally]

Totally agree. If you migrate just because new technology is a trend - you will never catch up.

[@arakwar]

React isn't more popular than PHP though. You still have a ton of websites and services running on PHP. What React did is to make it easier to scale a frontend part of an app. Which PHP have issues to do. But PHP is good at scaling backends, so people use it for backends while React handle front.

[@ccgarciab]

​@@arakwar they meant React vs SSR PHP. What you said supports their point of view.

The original value propositions for Svelte and Solid include prominently benefits for the end user. Namely performance gains and reduced transference sizes.

Yes and that’s okay, so many things are easier in frameworks like svelte or even vue, we should always use the best tool for the job, not the one most popular. Also as a developer you should be able to use any framework to do the job. If you only know how to do thing X in angular, you should invest time in learning other tools.

[@bunnihilator]

Angular is a framework to creat a complete frontend. Unlike ReactJs. So Angulars scales out of the box - big projects. ReactJs has no structure, no architecture. It's just a library. So you're wasting time installing all these libraries in ReactJd just to make it usable. I can't see why would Angular die!

[@ands0123]

I think the React team is doing a few things in the last couple years that do not represent evolution or are not good at all (like all the logic behind hooks and their names, and their "rules"), specially because many things there are not intuitive, which is the opposite you expect as a developer. Other example is that React is always introducing new concepts and throwing everything you learned in the trash - for example the changes in the react-dom api and everything about class components. Solid seems to be a great deal in comparison to React and other great simpler frameworks like Vue and Svelte, and it leverages the best thing in React in my opinion: JSX - and still has a nice simplicity as Svelte does. Looking forward to experiment that in a future project. For now, long live to React.

[@CHAPI929292]

React was never meant to be intuitive, the first mistake beginners always do is try to mutate state directly because that's the intuitive thing to do and its wrong

Software languages or frameworks increase abstraction as they mature and add features and new ones are released with less abstraction and less overhead.

[@georgiyanev7822]

If I have for example a GraphQL API that is intended to be used in 2-3 client applications(native mobile, web and desktop for example), then why do I need RSC? I very much like the decoupled approach, each service has it's own concerns. If I am following my logic, then I can have my GraphQL API and then I will have an additional server just for the React Application if I want to utilize RSC and those are 2 servers for 1 app(only an example). Also, I can probably put different endpoints for those concerns in 1 server but I generally don't like the idea of doing that for an API. I don't know, I am still thinking about the pros and cons but for now I don't like RSC. Also, for example I want to create a PWA in React, then won't those server components stop me from using offline features if I decide that I will need that feature inside that component?

Sure it's not the new hot thing but every year a big portion of developers that work with C++ retire that needs replacing with new talent. It's going nowhere and will probably get a new boost in the future when people jump to the next hot thing which happens to involve c++.

[@sadramohh]

React opened up the gate for so much pioneering, credit where credit is due, but the reality is, there are currently far better and less complex solutions out there (something that couldn't have been said couple years ago) react really has to deliver with their new "Server Components" or they'll just be left behind. What keeps you in the tech industry is constant innovation, not market share (developer adoption)

[@yanfoo]

Your comment about "I don't need to know how hooks work" (with React) by using Svelte is quite subjective. With Svelte, you need to know the template syntax which, in my opinion, adds a layer of complexity that is disconnected from both HTML and JavaScript. React hooks are JavaScript (or TypeScript), and do not add to the language; you just need to know how they are used. With Svelte, it's en entirely new thing to learn ON TOP of JavaScript/TypeScript and HTML.

[@hojdog]

Svelte is nice, but I wanna write JSX and I think SFCs are a regression

[@retrogamesreviews-g2e]

I abandoned React last year, every project where it was involved costed more, and performed worse. I went back to standard PHP and everything is great in comparison.

[@MrMazvaz]

Yes svelte does the js part much easier. But look at the html part. Whole lot of new syntax you have to learn there. Arguably just as confusing as having to learn useState(maybe not useEffect).

[@huge_letters]

if you're a beginner I don't think there should be any worry about React being replaced any time soon - even php is still alive and kicking but obviously mostly on legacy projects, doubt anyone is making a php startp-up. if you're a seasoned dev then I don't think learning a new framework would be that hard. Even with your svelte example you just need to learn ifs, loops and how to attach events and that's mostly it.

[@ccgarciab]

I'll argue against that alright. The additional syntax is extremely simple. It's just old timey templating. And works just as you would guess by translating #each to for and #if to if. useEffect has more than a few traps in wait, as the videos in this very channel demonstrate.

[@andsheterliak]

I don't understand your point. JSX is also neither javascript nor html, but a new syntax to learn.
