Our small company uses Ember.js for most projects. The lead dev is set on it because of ‘convention over configuration’ and claims it’s faster for big apps. But some junior devs want to try other options.
I’m wondering if anyone has experience with Ember and other frameworks like React or Angular. What are the pros and cons? Is sticking with Ember really better for large-scale stuff?
Personally, I think the tech differences aren’t as important as finding developers. It seems like React and Angular folks are easier to hire.
Any thoughts on this? We’re having team talks about it and could use some outside perspective. Thanks!
heyy, curious about your dev team dynamics! have u considered a hackathon or side project to test other frameworks? could be a fun way to explore without disrupting main work. wat do ur junior devs specifically like about react/angular? maybe they cud share sum cool features with the team?
As someone who’s worked with multiple frameworks, I can say there’s no one-size-fits-all solution. Ember’s convention-over-configuration approach can indeed speed up development for large apps, but React’s flexibility and extensive ecosystem are hard to ignore.
The hiring pool for React developers is undeniably larger, which is a significant factor for growing teams. However, if your current projects are running smoothly with Ember and your lead dev is proficient, a sudden switch might not be necessary.
Consider allowing interested developers to work on smaller, non-critical projects using React. This can satisfy their curiosity, potentially improve skills, and give your company a chance to evaluate if a gradual transition makes sense in the long run. Ultimately, the decision should align with your company’s specific needs and future growth plans.
hey, been using both ember & react.
ember gets u started fast, but react’s community is huge.
stick with yoru lead’s expertise if it’s working, but a small react pilot could be fun if u wanna explore.
