I don't use web frameworks but it's always occurred to me that the big 4 JS ones are Angular, React, Vue, and Mithril.

Angular and React are popular because they're backed by giant companies who have the resources to market and document it well.

Vue and Mithril seem better built, but Vue has nicer syntax, and Mithril is more lightweight.

But if I wanted lightweight I figured jQuery and JS might be better. I'm possibly wrong about this but that's the layman impression I get.

That's pretty well documented: https://mithril.js.org/framework-comparison.html#react
