Essential React vs Famous Framework: What are the differences?

Essential React: A minimal skeleton for building testable React apps using ES6. A minimal skeleton for building testable React apps using ES6; Famous Framework: Build expressive user interfaces with consistent code and reusable components. The Famous Framework is a new JavaScript framework for creating reusable, composable, and interchangeable UI widgets and applications. It balances declarative with imperative and functional with stateful, and it's built on top of the Famous Engine.

Essential React and Famous Framework can be primarily classified as "Javascript UI Libraries" tools.

Some of the features offered by Essential React are:

• Minimal tooling
• ES6 with support for IE 8
• Testability

On the other hand, Famous Framework provides the following key features:

• Reusability / interchangability. The Famous Framework is built around powerful constraints and a declarative syntax that make it possible for components to be reused and interchanged.
• Application consistency. In an ecosystem where widgets/applications/utilities all follow the same guidelines, developers and designers both reap the benefits: less trial and error when attempting to integrate with others' projects.
• Integration with existing web standards. Although our integration is far from complete, from the beginning we've aimed to design and build the framework around existing web standards.

Essential React and Famous Framework are both open source tools. It seems that Essential React with 2.06K GitHub stars and 147 forks on GitHub has more adoption than Famous Framework with 401 GitHub stars and 69 GitHub forks.
