I've done projects in both Rails and Django and now I'm currently working with Flask and I like it a lot more. Interested to see people's thoughts...

#2I personally still love Rails. Especially with Rails 5.1 I find it has what I need. I haven't had any of the scaling and performance issues some people mention in other threads. It's a fantastic environment for a developer.

I'm thinking about giving 5.1 a shot. Haven't worked with Rails since 4.2.

#4I'm working through a vue.js course on udemy and I'm really enjoying it so far. I've worked with Django, flask, and spring boot in the past. I can't say for sure yet if Vue is my favorite, but I have good feelings about it.

#5Django, because it does the job very well, has plenty of libraries/plugins to do what I would need, I could reuse all the scaffolding knowledge from using django in previous projects and focus on what's important. It is fast enough for my usecases.
For others, it could be rails, phoenix, flask etc. In case of a shippable product, time to market is very important, both to validate your product and boost your own morale and confidence.

Great points! I preferred Django over Rails honestly.

The same for me. I do different freelancing projects. Most of them in the direction of culture transformation for technical teams and I still use Rails as the go-to framework for any tool that I need in those projects.
Reasons: - I already know Rails so there is no learning curve
- It takes care (alone or with gems) of security, user management, routing ... with very few configuration details
- I can still deploy it quickly on one single droplet with capistrano
Recently I started to learn Vue.js and I think - for me - they will make a great combination for the web apps that I need.

Good stuff. Never used Vue and I didn't know Udacity had a course on it. I'll have to look into that. Was going to try Node.Js as well.

What course are you following on Udemy about Vue.js?

#10Since I am developing on a daily basis with React, it is obviously my favorite choice. It is not a framework, but a view layer library. However, by only using the view layer you can already build frontend applications.
The ecosystem around React is huge. But you don't have to use anything to build an application with React. [0] For instance, most people try too early to use a state management library. But you don't have to use it from the start [1], because React comes with its own internal state management. It makes sense to learn the React fundamentals first and build your own application with it [2] before you dive deeper into the ecosystem [3].
