In my version of the world, the biggest 'competitors' for the "HTML5
Framework" space are:
1) *React *for reasons that Peter mentioned. I think this is the
'biggest Player' in the current job market, but the licensing / patent
issues will probably hurt it.
2) *Angular*, which is from Google, is built in TypeScript. My
impression is that it's 80% of what React already is. Unfortunately,
the move from AngularJS [a JavaScript framework] to Angular [a
TypeScript] framework was jarring--think like moving from Halo to Spark
components with Flex. I think that is the primary reason why React is
eating Angular's lunch in the job market.
3) *VueJS*: The new up and comer. I don't know much about it, but I
keep hearing about it more and more.
Unfortunately, much of Berty's list of great things about FlexJS can
also apply to React and Angular and Vue.

I think you also need to include folks who would choose to use React over
TypeScript/Angular and other things. React seems very popular to me and
offers a similar experience to Flex in that you have class files that
combine presentation and code (like MXML) or just plain code. Plus it is a
gateway to React/Native. I think from the technology point of view, this
is a big competitor.

Hi All,
Erik on dev [1] list came up wit interesting question. I'm posting it also
here:
With the upcoming fork and renewed focus and most likely some publicity, I
want to ask the community to answer this question:
Why should a web dev choose FlexJS to write JS applications, and not go
with a more mainstream option like e.g. TypeScript/Angular?
I think that if we can answer that question in a compelling way, we are in
a good place as a project (from a code perspective, at least) and it gives
the marketing folks something to work with.
