Angular 2 versus React
To me it really feels like Polymer is taking all of the pros from both of these &quot;libraries&quot; or &quot;frameworks&quot; or whatever you want to call it and none of the cons. Why aren&#x27;t we talking more about that? Polymer is a fraction of the size. It&#x27;s one of several ways right now to write custom components. React and Angular2 do the same thing yet they are both bloated and force tons of tools and tech down your throat. For what?<p>Sorry, no. My 2016 isn&#x27;t going to come down to me deciding between React&#x27;s perverted DSL and crazy toolchain or Angular2&#x27;s massive cluster$&amp;!% of a bundle with cringe-inducing template syntax. No thanks.<p>I have followed this long enough. To a lot of people, adding Flux, Webpack, TypeScript, whatever, might seem like the beginning of the future of front-end development, but I see something different. I see 2016 as the year that people slowly begin to realize that while components ARE the future, you don&#x27;t need big frameworks or libraries or 4000 node modules. This is the year of pure, well-written, and fast web apps. This is the year of framework fatigue.
