A new year has arrived with new stats for everything. In this post, we are going to look at the top frontend frameworks to learn in 2020. We know that anyone doing frontend development today, is not coding plain vanilla JavaScript. We all use frameworks for building our applications.
I am not a fan of marrying to a framework, I think we can pick and choose the framework that best suits a project and the development team. Let’s see what are the top trends for web frameworks and libraries in 2020
1. React
React has continued to rise in popularity over the years and has been consistently ranked as the most used and favorite JavaScript library for building frontend applications. The rise of React is impressive and as an early adopter of React, I am and excited for its growth. If you are a React developer, your job prospects are going to be highest in the frontend developer market. With the rising popularity of React, many enterprise companies are also moving toward re-writing their frontend using React. This is going to create plenty of jobs for React developers. In the mobile world also, React is trending with the availability of React Native. The benefits of knowing React to be translated to both web development and mobile development jobs.
2. Vue
2020 is a big year for Vue.Vue has been trending ever since it was introduced. It has all the good aspects of both React and AngularIn 2019, many companies started to adopt Vue to build their frontend applications. Here are the trends for Vue over the last few years from the State of JS survey of 2019. There is a clear increase in the adoption of Vue over the years. 40.5% have reported that they have used Vue and would like to use it again. This is a positive sign and looks like 2020 will be a promising year for Vue developers. It may be a great time to learn Vue if you are looking for a new frontend framework to learn and build your frontend apps with. Furthermore, the learning curve with Vue is a lot lesser than some of the other frameworks and libraries. If you already know JavaScript, HTML, and CSS, it is very easy to start building Vue apps.

3. Angular
Angular is widely used to build frontend applications in both small-sized companies and large enterprises. But its popularity has been decreasing over the years. A lot of the recent feedback from developers about Angular has not been great. I have personally not used Angular, and some of my thoughts on it may come from surveys and online forums but not based on real experience.
Angular is a full-blown framework and not a flexible framework like React. It has everything built-in within it. This is something many developers do not like. Developers like to explore various tools and libraries to solve problems. But Angular being opinionated, it does offer the developers the flexibility that other frameworks provide.
It looks like there are still plenty of job prospects for Angular developers in 2020. But Angular needs to improve the developer experience in the coming years, to make sure that they improve developer satisfaction and not lose out to other frameworks.
