I'm glad someone has written about this. I actually wanted to write this very blog post, and even made a crappier version of this flow chart.
Why? Because people think they know what LiveView is, but they don't, because the pretenders out there (LiveWire, StimulusReflex and all the rest) are poor imitations.
Don't sleep on LiveView.
I would not call out StimulusReflex and the rest like that, it all boils down to the language runtime they are built upon. They are good at what they are trying to accomplish in my opinion.
Yes, it does boil down to the language runtime.
But that doesn't change the fact that they don't reproduce half of what LiveView can do.
They didn't have to call themselves "LiveView for Ruby!"
I meant it more as a PSA: if you've tried any of these other projects, you still owe it to yourself to give LiveView a try!
