It's a people (demand) thing as much as a technical one.

Yep. I don't disagree. But what does it default to when you don't know what to ask for. I believe there's a bias both in the models and the tools that people use to prompt... I know several major LLMs that default to react because they need to.

Agree. I think LLM tools likely have to output React by default today. However LLMs need to work with any framework in brownfield, so enabling other outputs as an option becomes somewhat easy to implement - enterprise user might choose due to corporate policies and hobbyists for any reason.

I think one thing we need to do is to focus a lot on samples, examples and documentation as soon as anything launches to ensure they are part of the training... And then work to ensure it can also be referenced quickly by tools when not.

Yep. That could be the opportunity for any new framework. Similar echos to Angular

Last but not least, the incumbent always had a strong advantage (nobody gets fired for buying IBM) - which didn't in the past stop innovation from happening or players to come up. Our belief in the team is that innovation will continue until UIs are a solved problem, which we think is far from true!

at least when the developers are interested in it. Also new features/API might matter if they're better performing then generated patterns, and even more ergonomic syntax might be useful to humans AND LLMs in all but greenfield use cases (if only to save tokens on maintenance).

I'm hopeful for the competition and happy to be proven wrong. A challenge that I've seen is that I've heard numerous providers say something along the lines of "to ask us not to output X is to ask us to lose to our competitors"

Someone told me recently to cut a lemon and stuff in some cloves and it repels the flies.

I tried taking your advice and I looked like a lemon on stage.

I appreciate how much wank there is in wank. It's full of it.
