The satisfaction vs usage of angular is astonishing, but I wonder how much of that usage is legacy angular? One way to read the graph would be that there's a lot of angular just quietly getting on with the job and it's a solid choice, but another would be that there's a large amount of legacy angular out there that people aren't very happy with.
Interested in the steady drop in satisfaction with Vue since 2018. I remember being positively impressed when I looked into it. Is it simply due to more usage in actual systems causing people to dislike tools they really work with, or is the framework developing in a direction people are unhappy with?
Vue.js is heavily magic and doesn't support basic React concepts like render props. How is that possibly a popular framework? Like any "easy" library, you'll run into hard situations with no solutions.
Vue has slots which is similar to render props.
I read this report every year. This year it feels the most like it's driven by hype (and marketing, hi Vercel!). In my professional and personal experience, react has never been better to use (in terms of features, DX, maturity, community, productivity), yet if you look at the "popularity" (oh dear) graph, it's basically just describing how older tech slides down while newer shiny tech comes in and is instantly the m…

People inheriting old react codebases now have to deal with way more complexity. For example, everyone was using styled components 2-3 years ago and now they are moving away. The complexity styled components introduced has to be managed alongside the current trend (tailwind?). Old styled components codebase looks horrible. They end up with Java inheritance hell. You create a button, then create another button inherit…
There's also a lot of great improvements in tooling that just completely outclass what CRA does. Webpack is a dinosaur that is slow and painful to use compared to new stuff like vite that is blazing fast and isn't written in JavaScript. Nextjs comes with a lot of routing decisions already made so it becomes much easier to quickly build apps on top of it
We've yet to see how it will fate in 3-5 years.
Not surprised to see satisfaction drop with increase in usage for React. People feeling like they’re forced to use something because of external constraints (coworkers choices etc) are rarely satisfied with that choice. That’s the fate of any tool that becomes popular enough.

Those salary demographics makes me doubt the entire data set. Over 40% of respondents make less than $50k

Edit: Only 14% of respondents are in the US, which probably explains the above.

Only Vite has great satisfaction (98%) and decent usage (30%).
