Ask HN: React vs. X

2 points by fud101 11mo ago ↗ HN

I like Vue but I don't want to invest in something without a payoff (in terms of employability). I hate react but it has more jobs. To me, even if Svelte is good, it's a waste of time because Vue and React are dominant in the market. So by the same logic I should just go with React. I am stuck in analysis paralysis.

I don't like any of the other routes - they all feel to me like I'm going back to PHP. (which is ironic considering React's roots)

Focus on React, and focus on doing React the way you like it.

I have some old projects that are in React and they're messy, but I've found that with what I've learned I can hammer out some pretty clean / satisfying React too.

Learning React prepares you for a career working on React. If you hate it, don’t do it.
