I built the same app 10 times // Which JS Framework is best?

Summary by Krater

The video builds a to-do application in vanilla JavaScript and nine different frameworks—React, Angular, Vue, Svelte, Lit, Stencil, Solid, Alpine, and Mithril—comparing their tradeoffs, syntax, state management, and lifecycle hooks.

From the video

Answers: Which JavaScript framework is best to use?

• JavaScript web frameworks
• Vanilla JavaScript DOM manipulation
• React hooks and state management
• Angular components and TypeScript
• Vue progressive framework and CLI
• Svelte compiler and virtual DOM absence
• Lit web components
• Stencil component compiler
• SolidJS reactive signals
• Alpine.js markup extensions
• Mithril JavaScript framework

What it concludes

• Vanilla JavaScript requires imperative DOM manipulation which becomes annoying for complex applications.
• React is minimal by design, relying on the open-source community for routing, animation, and state management.
• Angular is opinionated, requires TypeScript, and is well-suited for enterprise applications with strict conventions.
• Vue provides official packages for routing and state management with a progressive architecture.
• Svelte compiles code to plain JavaScript without shipping a virtual DOM runtime.
• Lit uses web components and template literals for building custom elements across frameworks.
