Thanks a lot!

Aurelia is a really great framework, I just hope it gets more traction as others have recently. My first experience with frontend frameworks was Angular 1.x, but transitioning to Angular 2 just didn't feel right. I've also tried projects in React & Vue, but neither seem as well-rounded and feature-rich as Aurelia.

You're right in your assumptions of Aurelia, Angular 2, Ember all being opinionated, however I think the "opinions" are often different in Aurelia's approach. They are putting a strong emphasis on adopting existing and emerging web standards (their custom element/attribute stuff is all following the web components standard), which I can see helping to fight against the fatigue that lots of people face with the 'flavour of the month' framework, as it'll no longer be what a team of developers thought was best at the time and will be the opinions of a standardisation team that has no vested interest in the framework itself.

Thanks for the insight!

It sounds like I'll have to give Aurelia a try.
