Co-author of the survey here, thanks for posting! Happy to answer any questions :)

(As long as the question is not something along the lines of "My favorite library Foo.js is doing pretty poorly in your survey, surely there must be an issue with your methodology?")

My favorite library Foo.js is doing pretty poorly in your survey, surely there must be an issue with your methodology? ;)

Not a question but a suggestion. I live in England and am very aware that the residents of Scotland and Wales don't like to be classed as "English". You might want to change the title to the more neutral (and correct) Britain, Great Britain, GB, United Kingdom, or UK.

I keep hearing about this Foo.js framework being the new React but can't find a repo!

Ouch, the ratio of "would use again" to "would not use again" on AngularJS stunning, if not surprising: https://2018.stateofjs.com/front-end-frameworks/overview/

Offering my personal opinion on the matter, since I've used all three of the most popular libraries in large-scale projects. Angular takes a lot of work to get to know with no real payoff. Comparing the architecture to the other libraries, it's not as intuitive and it's not as easy to maintain; things that are easy elsewhere are often tricky or weird in Angular. I'm sure there are great developers doing good work using Angular, but in my experience it's easier to onboard people and MVP things using other tools.

Not a Javascript developer. But that survey was beautiful!

Anyone doing a state of any language/platform should take note.
