React is awesome. Sure it has problems but what doesn’t? It’s easy to learn and JSX is great. I would try Next.js, Remix.js or just use Vite. Personally I’m trying out CT3A but that’s a bit on the edge (and uses Next). There are a lot of jobs with react out there and it’s a joy to work with imo.
Vue is supposed to be easy but I had a hard time with the initial learning curve. The community seems much smaller too. I have heard good things about Nuxt though.
Angular is robust but the hardest of the bunch to learn based on popular sentiment i’ve heard.
Doesn’t matter what an internet rando thinks, there are more React jobs at the moment. I’ve only seen Angular used by large enterprises for internal BI apps, which are harder jobs to get.
Honestly, easiest to learn is probably React. That + market share would make me learn that first. Newer frameworks tend to base what they do with ergonomics from React. Even my favorite (at the moment) frontend library, SolidJS, has all their tutorials with references to how you do things in React, and how similar signals work with Solid. Learning Vue, Svelte, all have the same issue; they compare themselves to React to show you how they do things with their library. And it makes sense, for better-or-worse.
Thank you for the explanation, so do you think angular is better? I want to start doing front-end and I don’t know what to pick

JSX can exist without React; it’s essentially just an alternative syntax for function calls.
(That is, annoyingly, handicapped in the Typescript checker)
Very true! Shouldnt be a point for react i guess. I believe they originated the syntax perhaps? Regardless, I love it (:

Yeah I’m not basing a life choice on a rando, but it can help to hear his motivations. Once I have that I can draw my conclusions.
Thanks for your input too.

Look at your local job market, where you want to work, or what you want to build to determine what to learn.
No point learning any tech unless it aligns with the problem(s) you’re trying to solve.
