Ask HN: What front end framework do you recommend?
I haven't done much frontend work in a while and I am wondering what the landscape looks like now. What do people here like working with?
This is regarding building highly interactive web apps.

I used ReactJS before the introduction of hooks. I found it quite nice, though I am sure I wrote some terrible code. I found Redux a bit cumbersome to use and very lengthy to write out the whole process, even if you just wanted to update the state of a button.
I will reiterate that a lot of my time with React+Redux I was asking myself: "Surely there is a better way to do this, I must be doing this wrong".
Svelte felt... lighter, simpler. But maybe in some ways too simple. I found the lack of a router a bit odd and was a bit confused about the stage of the project, which didn't encourage me to keep using it.
