  3. React

    The library for web and native user interfaces.

    I agree, the Vue 2 to 3 transition really messed things up. It's one reason why I gave up trying to migrate and just learned React, as it's the industry standard, for other package integrations and for jobs in general. Their new React.dev and docs are great.

    The React Framework

    Til now it’s between Nextjs and Laravel.
