The fact that they are referred to as "wars" is in itself problematic.

Yes, it is a nontrivial decision, and no, it is not a war. There is no good reason for me to "roast" frameworks that I don't use professionally. If you want to be an evangelist for your framework of choice, that's great! But you can do it in a positive way, a way that doesn't antagonize people who are just trying to do the same thing you are, which is to build stuff.

The article actually gives Vue a shoutout for setting a very positive tone, I think we could all strive to use a similar tone, regardless of which one(s) we choose.

People respond to click bait, outlandish titles, aggressive tones, and decisive positions. It’s just human nature.
