    It all just seems like a massive wasted effort.
I think many of us pursue new tech to ensure the chore of doing our work remains fun and engaging, the most important priority! Probably billions of dollars got spent last year just so startups could migrate between one pointless stack and another to entertain their developers instead of their users, and the punchline is the developers still aren't comfortable enough.


Hah. I realize that problem exists in the industry, but for us there's certainly tangible benefits to switching from our current 6 year old UI framework to Vue or React (see my other comment down below).

I was mainly referring to the wasted developer effort of making wrappers for bootstrap, foundation, semantic UI, etc. of varying quality for every framework (react, vue, ember, etc).

In addition, while I realize this isn't a realistic goal :) I wish that our choice in component library was independent of our framework of choice. For instance, it would be nice to use ionic with Vue without spending 2 years writing a vue-ionic wrapper.
