3 technologies that are “better” than React: 1
3 technologies that are “better” than React:
1. Preact
2. Svelte
3. Solidjs
These options offer better performance, smaller bundles, and more elegant APIs.
But, I’m not using them.
Why? Ecosystem.
React’s rich ecosystem makes it more compelling to me.
#react
React's ecosystem:
✅Countless reusable components = I don't have to start from scratch
✅Examples exist for anything I need to do
✅Many compelling frameworks
✅Tons of job opportunities
Ecosystem matters.
React’s innovation pulled me in. React’s ecosystem keeps me loyal.
One more important note: As an independent consultant, a tech's popularity is very important to me.
Here's why: Specializing in a popular tech means I have more opportunities to help more people in more places.
