It’s interesting seeing so many comments about stabilization around React. It’s not wrong per se, but it’s also not reflective of what I see from the FE community elsewhere. I see a ton of interest in newer frameworks like Astro. Solid has been growing at a steady pace. Qwik is gaining steam. Even older frameworks like Angular and Preact are evolving, eg adopting more reactive features. Vue and Svelte are going strong, albeit probably not gaining much new traction. And people are creating new frameworks (whether for education/demonstration or to introduce new ideas) or building new paradigms on existing ones (even on React, be it Preact Signals or Blockdom).

I think the reason these aren’t prominent on HN is because the community here is overwhelmingly skeptical of, if not hostile to, new developments and exploration in the FE/JS space… and because the FE/JS community knows that and is likewise reticent to subject itself to that.

That said, it is true that React is a formidable incumbent, and that quite a lot of the space has coalesced around it. I don’t think that’s set in stone, I even think there’s at least some churn coming sooner rather than later. But I don’t expect that to make huge waves on HN unless and until it’s well underway.
