We have so many choices in the javascript ecosystem that it&#x27;s pretty impossible to make a meaningful choice.<p>But, it&#x27;s very possible to lose time trying to figure out what you &quot;should&quot; choose or even what your choices might be.<p>And since that&#x27;s what the parent is bemoaning, your distinction is pretty useless.<p>Note: If you want to use react then the correct choice is react + redux + webpack. If you want to validate a startup idea, then the correct choice is jquery :)
