Not a completely invalid concern but I’m tired of switching front end frameworks. I switched from Angular to React and am not going to switch to Vue or something else now.
Especially since if this patent fear comes out to be true it could well apply to something that “looks a bit like React” such as Vue.
I personally don’t think these fears will materialize but I can understand also the need to feel completely protected and in control — it’s natural. But that seldom happens. If you are launching a startup chances are you might face other challenges to your survival than a patent battle with FB.
If I were starting from scratch I’d probably look at Vue in the light of this.
In any case, Thanks Raul for an impassioned post which raised a lot of awareness and gave to a spirited discussion.
