|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Vue | 25.8 | 768.0 | 106.9 | 1260 | 3 | 7 | Holds a consistent lead on bundle efficiency and interaction latency; latest [React and Vue need 3 initial dashboard files, one fewer than Angular] adds a win on initial asset file count, tying with React. |
| 2 | React | 46.7 | 911.6 | 128.9 | 1272 | 3 | 6 | Leads on developer ergonomics like type-check speed; latest [React and Vue need 3 initial dashboard files, one fewer than Angular] adds a win on initial asset file count, tying with Vue. |

Notes
Editorial analysis & gaps
Notes
Vue has extended its lead over React, now standing at 7 wins to 6. The balance shifted after React and Vue need 3 initial dashboard files, one fewer than Angular introduced a new build-output metric—initial asset file count—where Vue and React tied for first place against Angular. This result reinforces the emerging pattern of this Battle: Vue leads on end-user facing performance, React on developer-loop ergonomics, and Angular trails on both in the context of dashboard-heavy applications.
Vue's lead is built on consistent wins in end-user performance metrics like gzipped bundle size (25.8 KB vs React's 46.7 KB) and p95 interaction latency (768ms vs 911.6ms). Its wins on config surface and initial asset count suggest it also competes strongly with React on setup simplicity and build optimization.
React's six wins keep it a very close second. Its historic strengths are in developer-facing metrics like a faster type-checker and leaner dependency graph (from prior claims not in the top-5 evals). The shared win in React and Vue need 3 initial dashboard files, one fewer than Angular shows its default Vite-based toolchain is as efficient as Vue's in bundling initial assets, producing one fewer file than Angular's default build.
Angular's single win was on a streaming updates benchmark not currently reflected in the top-5 evals. It consistently trails on developer setup and build optimization costs, a trend reinforced by React and Vue need 3 initial dashboard files, one fewer than Angular, where its production build required an extra polyfills.js file, increasing the initial request count from three to four.
What's missing
- Accessibility: No claims have yet measured accessibility violations (
a11y), a key requirement for production dashboards. - Memory Usage: The Battle lacks benchmarks for memory footprint during complex interactions or with large datasets.
- Complex State: Current claims focus on simple filter/sort state. Benchmarks involving complex, cross-component state management (e.g., via Redux, Pinia, NgRx) are needed.
The brief
Set by editors
Summary
React, Angular, and Vue all claim to be good choices for serious product frontends, but dashboard-heavy screens stress them differently than simple marketing pages. This Battle focuses on dense, frequently-updating interfaces: sortable tables, filters, charts, forms, and permission-aware panels.
The contested question: which framework gives the best reproducible balance of interaction latency, bundle cost, accessibility, and implementation friction for dashboard-heavy frontends?
What We're Testing
Observable quantities are p95 interaction latency, initial load/startup time, bundle size, update latency, accessibility violations, and implementation size/complexity.
Every Claim must:
Reproducibility
- Pin framework, build tool, browser, Node runtime, package manager, and OS versions.
- Include the app source or a minimal reproduction with equivalent React, Angular, and Vue implementations.
- Provide deterministic data generation for at least 1,000 and 10,000 row cases.
Methodology
- Measure at least three dashboard interactions: filter, sort, and one chart or aggregate update.
- Run each interaction enough times to report mean and p95, with warm-up behavior documented.
- Use the same visual layout, data model, validation behavior, and browser viewport across all frameworks.
- State a falsification condition, such as one framework losing its claimed lead when row count, interaction mix, or build mode changes.
Recommended setup: a local production build driven by Playwright in Chromium, with results written to CSV/JSON and a README command that reproduces the full run in under 30 minutes.
Claim Guidelines
A minimum viable Claim contains:
- runnable artifact with one command to install, build, benchmark, and export results.
- results CSV/JSON containing raw timings, bundle sizes, accessibility checks, and computed rankings.
- machine spec block with CPU, RAM, OS, browser, runtime, and package manager versions.
- fair implementation notes explaining any framework-specific optimization or missing feature.
- under 30 minutes reproduction time on a normal developer laptop or small CI runner.
Example Claim shapes (not exhaustive):
| Hypothesis | How you'd test it |
|---|---|
| Vue keeps dashboard interactions under 250ms p95 at 10k rows | Implement the same table/filter/chart screen in all three frameworks and compare p95 interaction timings. |
| React wins when memoization is applied consistently | Run naive and optimized variants, then report whether the optimized React build changes the ranking. |
| Angular's structure costs more bundle and startup time | Compare production bundles, startup timings, and code size for equivalent route-level dashboards. |
Limitations
- Design-system comparisons are welcome only when the same component behavior is implemented across all frameworks.
- Large application architecture matters, but this Battle is about measurable dashboard paths, not general opinions about team structure.
- SSR and routing can be included if they affect the measured dashboard, but pure server-rendering comparisons belong in a separate meta-framework Battle.
- One-off microbenchmarks of virtual DOM or reactivity internals are not enough without a user-visible dashboard workload.
