I am the sole front end developer at ReportDash, an online report and dashboard builder. We use backbone, backbone layout manager & coffee script and never ever once regretted the choice. The code is highly organised, thanks to the structure provided by backbone layout manager, and is pretty much readable and extensible. And not even once I felt limited by the framework.
The code has got quite complex over time, and I strongly suspect I would have gone mad if I had used a different framework. I used to wonder why the hype over react, vue, angular etc.
- bigmanwalter 10y agoIMO, the hype over them is because Google, Facebook, et al are trying to gain developer mindshare. Their modus operandi is to hoard as much webdev talent as possible to limit the possibility of a startup usurping them. With front-end development being trendy, this buys them massive brand recognition. The technology itself doesn't need to be new, exciting or practical. All you need is sufficient marketing $$$$$$ backing it.
