When writing a Web application from scratch, it’s easy to feel like you can get by simply by relying on a DOM manipulation library (like jQuery) and a handful of utility plugins. The problem with this is that it doesn’t take long to get lost in a nested pile of jQuery callbacks and DOM elements without any real structure in place for your applications.
In short, you’re stuck with spaghetti code. Fortunately there are modern JavaScript frameworks that can assist with bringing structure and organization to our projects, improving how easily maintainable they are in the long-run.
While there are several choices for what to use for structuring your JavaScript Web applications these days, it’s important to be diligent in the selection process – spend time thoroughly evaluating your options in order to make a decision which results in sustainable, maintainable code. Framework diversity fosters innovation, while too much similarity just creates noise.
Experimenting with different frameworks will also give you different views on how to solve common problems which will in turn make you a better programmer.
