#53I 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…

#54Interested 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?
While vue 3 was soft launched a year ago. The transition is still happening. With Vue 3 becoming default last week(feb 7). And major vue frameworks (vuetify and nuxt) just still working to support vue 3.
I expect satisfaction to increase next year, when ecosystem catches up. And dissatisfied folks switch to other options.
One thing to note is v2.7 is still shrouded darkness. Now, that major vue 3 work is done, Clarity and good support on v2.7 will also improve satisfaction.

#58Gulp build tool not receiving much love lately with a very strong "Would not use again". Why so? https://2021.stateofjs.com/en-US/libraries/build-tools/#buil...
The thing is that gulp doesn't really have all that much to offer these days. If you need lots of complex build logic webpack is the way to go. If simple & fast is the desired goal then something like esbuild or swc do a much better job, especially in the "fast" section.
And if none of these tools are what you want you could always use make (and bazel would also be possible I think, not sure though). Or maybe just plain tsc is enough.

#59Depending on your age (guess what!) the age demographics is absolutely scary :-)
65 year olds don't do javascript. which is explainable since javascript itself is ~28 years old and node.js is like 15?
I think it is more likely that, largely, there are way more 25-34 programmers than 65+ programmers out there.
