Vue Passes React's Star Count on GitHub

Angular and React are getting bloated.

Vue is still one of the few frameworks that stays lean.

Easier learning curve by new developers trying to pick a front end framework.

Angular has always been bloated, but, how has React gotten bloated? Do explain.

I was also surprised by that comment. I just checked and React still has on the order of less than 30 methods/properties in its entire public API surface. Vue.js has quite a bit more.

If the parent means by byte count, React + ReactDOM is about 32.5KB, Vue is 30.3KB. Not a dramatic difference in byte bloat, either.

It's the ecosystem that makes it seem bloated. 32k vs 30k is nothing.

Wait, what? A large ecosystem of libraries that are not included by default but are available for you to use is somehow a bad thing (as "bloat" implies)?

I agree with you, but there's a joke about npm and leftpad in here somewhere.

Every new developer I know is picking React because that's what the jobs want.
