Why does ClickMasters default to React over Vue?

UK talent pool: React developers are approximately 5x more common in the UK than Vue developers — easier to hire, easier to find contractors, easier to hand over to an internal team. Ecosystem: larger, more mature. GOV.UK Design System: official React component library available. TypeScript: React + TypeScript is the dominant UK professional frontend stack in 2025.

Is Angular still relevant in UK software development?

Yes — Angular is widely used in UK public sector (HMRC, DWP), banking technology (traditional Java/C# shops that value Angular's enterprise structure), and large teams where the opinionated framework reduces architecture decisions. If your team has strong Java/.NET backgrounds and you need strict conventions, Angular can be a good fit.

What about Next.js vs plain React?

ClickMasters uses Next.js (App Router) for all new React projects — Server Components improve performance (lower Core Web Vitals), built-in routing is simpler than React Router, and Server-Side Rendering improves SEO. The only case for plain React (Create React App or Vite): simple single-page apps with no SEO requirement. Even then, Next.js is simpler to set up and maintain.
