New JavaScript frameworks come out every year, promising to be the next big thing. But after years of chasing trends, I’ve decided to step off the hype train. Here’s why. Tagged with javascript, react, node, programming.

Dev.to is a community platform for developers, offering resources, discussions, and networking opportunities to empower individuals in their coding journey. Developers can learn new programming languages, frameworks, and tools, engage in discussions on best practices, and share their experiences with fellow developers to enhance their skills and grow their professional network.

Constantly switching between the latest JavaScript frameworks is often unproductive and disruptive to long-term development goals. Although innovation in frameworks is attractive, consistently relearning new systems can distract from actually building projects. Core programming skills, understanding JavaScript deeply, system design, and writing maintainable code are more valuable for becoming a better developer. Companies prioritize stability and maintainability, which is why frameworks like React and Angular remain dominant in the job market.

Why the Latest JavaScript Frameworks Are a Waste of Time

The Job Market Is Still Dominated by React and Angular

Frameworks Won’t Make You a Better Developer

So we can just stick to ReactJS lol

I agree! If the old one is still relevant to your problem, it means you don’t need to change it.
There is no “best” framework, only the most suitable one.

For my pet projects, don’t use any framework.
Only vanilla, only hardcore 😅

Golden piece of this article for me was:
<blockquote>
What actually makes you a better developer?
</blockquote>
<ol>
<li>Understanding core JavaScript deeply (async, closures, event loops, prototypes).</li>
<li>Learning system design (how to build scalable applications).</li>
<li>Writing maintainable code (clean architecture, testing, documentation).</li>
<li>Thinking beyond the frontend (APIs, databases, cloud deployment).</li>
</ol>
Actually an informative article. Thank you

They create content around new Frameworkd but at the end of the day they back to React and Next
