Hey everyone, I'm new to the forum! Coming from a Python background, I've realized that building web applications can be pretty slow and tough with it. I've got some basic experience with vanilla JavaScript, but I've always struggled with setting up the environment and building effectively. I'm curious about which JavaScript framework would be the easiest to get started with in 2025. Also, I'd love to know the best resources—like paid courses—to help me learn it.

React is definitely an industry standard now, but Angular isn't bad either if you’re thinking about job prospects. However, I’ve noticed a lot of love for Svelte and Vue due to their simpler mental models. React can be difficult for newcomers.
I'd recommend starting with React! There are tons of tutorials and resources available, plus it's widely used by employers. You'll find a lot of job opportunities if you know React.
But come on, React is for people who can't find jobs otherwise!
This is a pretty subjective question, but just to share my experience, I primarily use Vue and Nuxt for most of my web app projects. I really appreciate how it separates styles, logic, and markup. Honestly, I don't feel like I'm missing anything compared to React's JSX approach. Overall, I think Vue's ecosystem is just as mature.
Not trying to start a debate, but I found your insights helpful! It seems like Vue and Nuxt are gaining popularity, while React feels a bit tougher to jump into.
I've seen many recommendations for Svelte and Vue. Given my low-budget projects, which one do you think would fit better for creating lead-generating software or business portals?
