I remember there was a time when you would start a project and then probably go to GitHub to look for code or to a folder where you had a... yup... a library of libraries, plugins, utilities and then select the ones you would use in your project... (jQuery, cough cough)... those were simpler times...

But nowadays things has gotten quite complex, we use module bundlers, CSS compilers, package managers... and you guess it, JavaScript (or web) Frameworks and it seems to be a trending topic. When you look at job postings, the word “React” and “Angular” pops in very often, and there is a big HYPE for them among the developers community. But not just that... there are TONS OF THEM!

Me... on the other side 👉👈... I still haven't learn in full depth a JS Framework (well, Reef JS kinda (which is very vanilla)), I think vanilla JS is beautiful in it's own and a few (well coded) libraries can take you very far, I like simplicity and I tend to think that HTML, CSS and vanilla JS very often is enough.... however...

Recently I decided to learn Svelte, among the other options out there, this seems like a solid option for me (no pun intended... or is it?), so far I'm liking the experience and I get a bit more of why developers like frameworks. But maybe is because Svelte makes the experience nice, but I still don't know too much of other frameworks. but probably you do!

In your case, which framework do you think people should learn and why? Am I actually missing something good? What I'm not seeing? Do you think Svelte was a great choice? If you are not much into frameworks, which alternative would you recommend?
