Same. Recently I had to do some web work and it is so daunting. Any tutorial for a given technology asks you to use a bunch of other tooling dependency that you don't understand. It's just mixed up dependencies everywhere even for little example projects. Something like create-react-app that is supposed to help you learn react. Set it up and just look at node_modules. Just a shit ton of dependencies and you have no i…

The one sticking point was webpack 1; they had some dependencies with unlicensed dependencies. Fortunately, we were already leaning towards browserify anyway at the time. Webpack 2+ resolved those issues.

Funny, I've worked with multiple companies and their lawyers who were very serious about license compliance and what not. It took all of fifteen minutes to prepare a spreadsheet of our licenses (planned, anyway). Not a complaint from any of them, other than an "oh, that's more than I'm used to seeing."

To me React is superior for a very simple reason. There is a huge deficit of intermediate-advanced Vue tutorials compared to React. There are like 30 advanced-level tutorials on Egghead on React and like, what 3-4 advanced Vue tutorials (Nuxt, Nuxt and using Angular-like decorators to write proper classes instead of the 'it just works' vanilla boilerplate)? Learning the ropes of Vue is easy. It's a go-to framework of…

That's how I feel configuring networking and load balancers and other backend stuff. I know its essential but for some reason front end and all its quirks makes more sense to me
Eeeh, configuring load balancers and networking are not backend tasks....... I mean yeah, that's done on the backend as well, but that's generally not what people mean with that term.

Mind elaborating? As of late, Vue's TypeScript support seems pretty nice.[1] [1] https://vuejs.org/v2/guide/typescript.html

Honestly I don't think Vue is better than React, or React better than Vue. They are just different, and that's where a lot of the arguments come from. For me, Vue is such a monumentally large step backwards. I loved React because there are no templates, there is no 2-way binding, you don't have the vuex style state handling. Using Vue is an exercise in frustration for me, dealing with all of the templating headaches…

But that shows some kind of misunderstanding, because you can literally build single page applications in 50 lines of code and a JS include in an html file. None of this stuff is that much work. People are really overestimating how hard it is, and you realize it once you try it. It's just people aren't familiar. https://mithril.js.org/simple-application.html Here's another app in another framework. Hard to get easier…
No, no misunderstanding. I was being snarky and referring mostly to the laundry list of items that most FE devs have running or install just to start building a FE. To me that seems ridiculous and shows me that FE devs have either not paid attention to the bloatedness that is Enterprise style development or have and walked away with all the bad habits.
