Xen Master added React as alternative to hyperscriptI like React because it's the backbone of most of our frontends - the component model and hooks make complex dashboards manageable, and the ecosystem means there's rarely a wheel we need to reinvent. My one gripe is how much boilerplate state management still needs even with hooks - we end up reaching for extra libraries just to avoid prop-drilling on anything non-trivial.

Solid after so many years. But to be fair there are quite a lot frameworks out there by now and you wonder if it still makes sense at all to care about any framework. NextJS has taken over in popularity and before React the vueJS framework was quite solid.
This might save time in the first weeks of developing but as soon as your framework is outdated you will have a hard time. On the one hand the die hard fans that wont drop their framework and on the other hand you cant get new devs on the team as they dont want to learn old stuff. burning money.
maybe frameworks are just wrong overall.
Some plugins are good.
Easy to learn, no-nonsense approach. Best-in-class IDE & tooling support. Works for every size of project. Biggest player in the frontend engineering space, therefore easy to find experienced developers and resources
React.js is the most-used framework in the SPA world probably these days. It has a rich ecosystem and developer experience is really good.
