No, usually people who ask this sort of question aren't looking for suggestions. They're looking for validation for their own choices. Because the question is almost always followed by a statement, "oh, you should use (Angular|React|Whatever), that's what I use." Most people, even on boards like this that select for technology-interested people, don't make things. Even people who think of themselves as "makers" (ugh, I hate that word) don't make things. I don't mind people making suggestions (though something that would fundamentally require a complete rewrite seems more like trolling than being a mere suggestion). But when they then act like I'm insane because I don't use a 3rd party framework, then I start finding trouble keeping my opinion to myself.
