Type of review

I liked that when you are using Mean it feels like its part of your codebase rather than something bolted-on in some sort of separate repository or system somewhere else, meaning everything works together seamlessly - no need for configuration files to be edited between environments. The syntax could use improvement by adding more sugar/less noise at times (e.g., function names). Also not sure if this was just my experience but there's been occasions where we've had dependencies break with…

Pros
  • Its built natively onto angular
  • Works best while building single page apps.
  • Easy integration within an already created project framework
  • Can directly connect from client application via webpack build scripting process through ng serve mode
Cons
  • There are disadvantages

ReactJS & Redux all in one package - mean.js

I love how easy it was to get up & running with mean, as well as having access to many useful libraries that are not always included in other frameworks like Angular or ReactJS (like axios). It's also very fast! The documentation could be better for beginners but there isn't much out of date information online either so you can usually find what you need by searching through StackOverflow questions/answers - just make sure your question has been asked before because sometimes people don’t…

Pros
  • Very simple
  • Easy way around building apps
  • Lots available resources easily accessible without needing additional search terms.
  • Good community support via stack overflow answers
Cons
  • All fine

Great way start learning and delving deeper down rabbit holes

I like how easy it was to get started with mean, but also that there are so many options available for customization! There's definitely something here if you're looking at MEAN stack solutions or even just trying out new frameworks in general - they have some really great tutorials online as well (which were helpful when getting up-to speed). The documentation could be better overall though; sometimes things aren't super clear until after digging into them more deeply through other…

Pros
  • Their free tier is decent enough which allowed my team members an opportunity experience first hand using most aspects related directly towards development while working remotely together over video chat instead having face2face meetings every single day..or week lol
Cons
  • Empty

The perfect cross platform framework

I like that it's very easy to get started with, has great documentation (although not as extensive compared other frameworks), but also provides several ways of doing things so you can decide what works best for your project/team needs at any given time! It makes building applications quick & painless without having too much code in there - just enough structure or boilerplate needed when starting out new projects / features etc., while still giving flexibility if required down-the line once…

Pros
  • Very flexible, very configurable, very easy to get started with, very easy to learn, very powerful
Cons
  • Not a lot of good documentation, some of the documentation is very specific to certain use cases / frameworks / libraries, but you can usually find what you're looking for if you're willing to dig a little deeper and do some research
