Question for HN: I'm a systems developer and want to play a bit with frontend development (writing frontends for custom tools I built).

What framework + feature-complete component library is recommended in 2017?

React? Vue? Polymer? Plain JS with intercooler.js? I feel a bit overwhelmed.

Developers are creating lots of UI libraries but after sometime they lose traction and support for this library abandoned, bug fixes/improvements will be halted. If so, why create so many libraries instead of writing yet another theme for bootstrap. Best example is material ui kits, they are a lot, but only 2 or 3 of them are still continuing development

I've been using Vue for a similar purpose this last week or two and I've found it very simple and easy to follow. I'd recommend that.

It depends on what you want todo and how complex it is. Should it run only in a Browser or Mobile (native) too?

You will find 10 People that tell you use X, 10 use Y, 10 use Z, any suggestion is right and any would be wrong.

Look at the frameworks and features and decide which one come close to your prefered development style. It is not easy and it took time.

In the last 24 month i tried many: backbone, ember, aurelia, react, react redux and currently vue and many of which i forget the name ;-). All have there pros and cons.

If you always look for a newer thing, then you will never find one. To myself: Lesson learned ;-)

I'm using react (with clojurescript) & angular2, and would suggest React. It is becoming mature and stable, great ecosystem, and a clear direction while angular (and other alternatives) are still finding where to go, mostly copying React. I'd go straight to the source.
