Vue and svelte are easy to use and learn/adopt. But look what won. React.js.
So whatever the ai agent with the vast user basae will win regardless.

I know it's a slippery slope, but given you brought up JS framwork analogy, I had to fall into it
Cursor is easily the worst experience I've had with an AI harness, yet it was acquired for billions of dollars in spite of being a middleman tied to a ripoff of VS Code. None of the colleagues of mine who were touting it last year are still using it. But if you can make yourself look like the next big thing, you'll get money thrown at you. Just look at Omarchy.
A good experience necessarily takes time and careful thought. Nobody these days can do that while also remaining relevant, or even surviving.
I kinda like cursor, mostly because it provides a nice review UI and I can use whatever model I want.
Getting away from all the Claude-speak has been a revelation, and fortunately Anthropic helped me here by hyping up GLM 5.3. Like, if there's an open weight Fable competitor, then why wouldn't I use it?
React was cool before the hooks and "use whatever" all over the place.
Now Angular v1, man… if I ever see another digest loop error in my life, I will scream
