It's become increasingly difficult to argue against React+TypeScript. One strong indicator is that we have a framework agnostic tech process where the candidate can pick whichever stack they like. The best candidates almost always pick React with Vue being a significant minority.

I'm sure the worst candidates almost always pick React too, and some of the mediocre ones.

People are just picking what they're most familiar with and that which is simpler to complete your task.

Sure but I'm not really interested in the negatives. I want to hire good engineers, and those engineers want to use React.

I've used Elm in a few commercial settings, and for personal work for several years. No problems I can't tolerate or work around.

React/Preact with TypeScript is hard to beat.
