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.

Gulp 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...

I would guess it's because it's old (in Javascript years).

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?

I think every framework sees this kind of drop once it gets widely adopted. Probably a combination of being confronted with real-world use cases, as well as the appeal of newer solutions that promise to do the same thing even better.

It’s just the hype cycle. It’s only improved in recent years
