I started programming in 2015 and I'm very surprised that webapps have managed to get worse in that time period. We have 10 years of work on the V8, 10 years of React and Angular, 10 years of DX improvements and my current work is C# takes a minute to compile and Angular takes 4 minutes for a production build.
I know now we have TS and there's a lot of safety that comes with it but somehow things are just slow, both building and on deployed websites. Websites should be snappy when everyone has a GPU that can go incredibly fast compared to 10 years ago and cores that are 2x faster and 4x as numerous.
If you try frameworks interested in performance like Svelte or Astro or mostly anything beyond Angular and React, you’ll see very short build times and sub-second updates.
If it were my choice I would probably go for Vue since I've worked with it for about a year also Evan Yu is a developer I have 100% confidence in making it better over time. I mean, he made Vite after all. The transition from v2 to v3 was pretty much backwards compatible while angular breaks shit all the f-ing time. But out of the ones I don't know Svelte looks the best. Do I need a "chart.js-svelte" package? Nope, just use the normal one. Dependency management looks soooo much simpler than having a less supported framework specific version of it.
Vue is great too! Basically everything outside of enterprise React and Angular would be quite performant.
