Sebastian Posted September 29, 2016 Posted September 29, 2016 Hey everyone. So, i have a small question. I'm currently re-writing a business website for a school project. I am familiar with JavaScript but i have a bit knowledge about extentions like VueJS, Ajax, AngularJS etc etc. My school is pushing about using VueJS because it's lightweight and easy to use. What i know is that VueJS is almost the same as AngularJS but newer. I have been using VueJS for some time now and it's really fine to use. But, as someone who likes feedback, i'm asking you guys if i should keep using VueJS or stick to AngularJS. What are your thoughts about VueJS and are you using it? Sebastian
Swizzbeat Posted September 29, 2016 Posted September 29, 2016 The whole "lightweight" argument is bullshit. It’s 2016, everything is served via a CDN and cached locally. Loading a huge JS framework is hardly a job for even mobile devices to handle. I’d much rather spend my time developing my product than rewriting production ready frameworks. On top of this you have things like Webpack to help prevent multiple resource requests, etc. I've heard great things about VueJS but never personally used it. VueJS is primarily for those that want flexibility while AngularJS is designed to easily support single page applications. Personally I prefer React + Redux as a nice starting architecture for my web projects but that's just me. 2

What he said: Page loading times are important, but nowadays internet connection on both mobile & PC are more than fast enough. + the fact that everything gets cached mostly. 1
