The State of JavaScript 2018

When having a few conversations a few years ago with enterprise devs, the React license was seen as a problem[0][1], and Angular wasn't, so the default path was from the top-down to go with Angular, for those I spoke to. This was also when Angular 2.0 was new and the comment was also "This is moving too fast".

Once enterprise chooses a tool, that tends to stay the tool for that project, then all of the team is competent in the tool after a couple of years working with it. There's a critical time-frame when new competing tools win a geographical majority [2].

While 2+ is definitely better, I would still prefer to never use it again. To me, React + JSX is the most natural abstraction for component development. Vue is probably second, but tends to introduce complexities that make things harder for mid-large apps imho.
