Your favorite Javascript framework? and Why?

Hello Dex-chan enjoyers!
Before we begin, you'll need to understand:

• What is a Javascript Framework?
• Why and When you need one?
• Why you will regret using it someday in the future?

Lazy to find some sources and references for those.

Secondly, I was curious about your favorite JavaScript Framework and why you use it.
Maybe we could find something interesting to learn here.

Lastly, I'm not a JavaScript Framework expert.
During those past 3 years, I could only learn (and somewhat master) 2 JS frameworks:

• React
• Svelte

And my favorite is Svelte.
Why?

• No Virtual DOM
• The syntax is more verbose and easy to understand
• Better styling solution: In Svelte, you have the built-in <style/> tag to style a componnent with CSS or whatever preprocessor you like
• A powerful state management: Svelte have something called Stores that allows you to quickly share state between multiple componnents
• Easy to integrate with existing Vanilla Javascript Libraires like floating-ui, particles-ts
• A extremely powerful transition and animation engine
• An easy async/await handling (no more strange package to install to handle promise)

Even with those quality though, it have some caveats like:

• this $: thing to handle effect and derived state
• a small ecosystem

Anyway, it mostly get the job for me.

Spoiler: What I have been working on with Svelte and Sass recently 👀

I'm still learning so I can't say much. But that's nice, how'd you do that?

I use a bunch of grid and flex boxes.
I could use Tailwind CSS but I doesn't suit well on what i want to build

jQuery. It has nice old web browser compatibility and was shipped on most front end CSS frameworks such as Bootstrap. Also statistics has it as the most used JS framework.

Alpine, it's simple, it's easy, it makes me happy
