Pros + Cons

Pro
 Strictly functional

Functional by design, not developer decision. Compiletime checks.
Comment

Pro
 Static types

Very powerful Types, which can be inferred by the compiler. They provide guarantees about the behaviour of functions, which are very helpful. And no runtime exceptions.
Comment

Pro
 Great and simple way to learn Purely Functional Programming 

You can try to apply some functional programming ideas in other languages that have an imperative basis, but you haven't seen the real power unless you tried it in the environment of purely functional programming. Elm is a simple language with great learning resources and easy graphical output, which makes it easy to explore the power of functional programming. Plus programming in Elm is very readable.
Comment

Pro
 No run-time exceptions

Lack of run-time exceptions makes it easy to produce large swathes of reliable front-end code without drowning in tests.
Comment

Pro
 Super easy refactoring with very helpful compiler errors

In no other language, you can refactor so easy without any worries, since the compiler will guide you through. It is like TDD but than compiler-error driven.
Comment

Pro
 Not quite Haskell semantics

Luckily you do not have to learn Haskell to be able to do any Elm. It is meant to be a language that compiles to Javascript, so for Javascript programmers (Front end) not for CS students who want to learn as many different algorithms as possible.
Comment

Pro
 Designed around high-level front-end development 

As Elm was designed as a front-end langauge, it has out of the box support for things like DOM-element creation, letting programmers focus on their application logic, rather than implementation details specific to the web.
Comment

Pro
 Good documentation 

Elm is gaining popularity, somewhat faster than many of the other solutions here. This translates to more code examples, more documentation, and more libraries.
Comment

Pro
 Reactive

In Elm every component is completely self responsible and instead of changing other components, all data is propagated through the program. Every component/module can listen to specific parts of that. To say it more clearly: state is a pure function of the past. See the first couple of paragraphs of this article for the best introduction I've read to the day ( https://gist.github.com/staltz/868e7e9bc2a7b8c1f754 ).
Comment

Pro
 Awesome debugging

For example: all exceptions are handled at compile time (thats right no runtime exceptions) and the incredible time travelling debugger (http://debug.elm-lang.org/).
Comment

Con
 Opinionated

The Elm Architecture is great but it might be too opinionated for some people.
Comment

Pro
 Complete toolchain

You can start working with Elm as is. The toolchain is more or less baked in.
Comment

Pro
 Batteries included

The Elm Architecture means you don't need to spend valuable time and effort choosing the right frameworks, state management libraries, or build tooling. It's all built in.
Comment

Pro
 Inferred static typing

ML static typing is great because it's always there, you just choose how explicit you want to be and how much you want the compiler to do.
Comment

Con
 Poor tooling

There are editor plugins, but neither of them support basic features yet like navigate to referenced definition; show expression type.
Comment

Con
 Adds an additional layer of abstraction

Some users claim that Elm adds an additional layer of abstraction, meaning that it is one more hurdle between the brain and the product.
Comment

Con
 Difficult learning curve

A bit trickier to learn than a framework for those without prior experience with statically typed functional languages like Haskell.
Comment

Con
 Not database-friendly

It is lots of work to make a server or database your "one source of truth", as Elm makes you write endless JSON parse boilerplate to talk to the server.
Comment

Pro
 Atom works as an IDE with many smart tools

Comment

Pro
 Growing community

Comment

Con
 Missing syntactic sugar ('where' clauses, pattern guards) 

Elm is missing a lot of syntactic sugar that Haskellers may consider core, such as 'do' notation, 'where' clauses, pattern guards, and operator sections.
Comment

Pro
 Can be used with any front-end stack

Vue can easily be integrated with other front-end libraries. This makes it an extremely versatile tool and it's easy to fix its shortcomings or missing features by just plugging in another library.

Comment

Pro
 Responsive server-side rendering

Since most of the mainstream server-side rendering implementations are synchronous, they can block the server's event loop when the application is complex. Vue implements streaming server-side rendering, which allows you to render your component, get a readable stream and directly pipe that to the HTTP response. This allows you to have a responsive server and decreases the time your users have to wait before they get your rendered content.
Comment

Pro
 Supports inline templating

Although you can build components in JavaScript files, you can also use inline handlebars-like templating in your HTML views where simplicity is often a more sane choice.
Comment

Pro
 Can be made even lighter

Since the template-to-virtual-DOM and compiler can be separated, you can compile the templates in your machine and then deploying only the interpreter which is 12KB minified and gzipped.
Comment

Pro
 Support for both templates and JSX

You can choose to use either a templating language, or if you feel it's necessary to drop on a lower virtual-dom level, you can use JSX. This is simply done by replacing the template option with a render function. Or alternatively, you can embed functions inside templates by using the <render> tag.
Comment

Pro
 SEO friendly

Starting with Vue 2.0, Vue supports server-side rendering. This helps with SEO a lot, since the views are rendered directly on the server, which are indexed by search engines.
Comment

Con
 Very enterpris-ey in design and tooling

Comment

Pro
 VueRouter

Comment

Con
 Two-Way databinding / event handlers

Vue2 is a framework that's implemented a design straight from the 90s with two-way data binding and event handlers. Vue.js encourages practices that simply do not scale and React had set out to correct (unfortunately, not very successfully).
Comment

Con
 Still in pre-alpha

The latest version of Vue (2.0) which added a lot of important features (virtual-dom, server-side rendering to name a couple) is still in pre-alpha.
Comment

Pro
 Good for writing small alone widgets

Comment

Pro
 Component scoped CSS by default

Styles applied to one component do not affect other components. There are no global style collisions, and you don't need a separate CSS-in-JS library to achieve that (but you can if you want to)
Comment

 Good documentation

Website is made with its own tiny class that teaches the basics.

 Easy to learn, contains all features needed

Comment

Pro
 Components use familiar HTML tags

Riot components use custom tags which are nothing more than familiar HTML tags coupled with JavaScript. This eliminates the need to learn another templating language or syntax. For example: <todo> <h3>TODO</h3> <ul> <li each={ item, i in items }>{ item }</li> </ul> <form onsubmit={ handleSubmit }> <input> <button>Add #{ items.length + 1 }</button> </form> this.items = [] handleSubmit(e) { var input = e.target[0] this.items.push(input.value) input.value = '' } </todo> Riot tries to separate HTML and JavaScript, while still keeping them inside the component. This way, the HTML can also be neatly mixed with JavaScript expressions.
Comment

Pro
 Lightweight  

Riot is made to be used with websites of any kind, so it's built to be easy and lightweight, but still maintaining all the needed features for a UI library. It's only 2.5 KB in size when minified. So it can also be used for mobile web apps without requiring much bandwidth to download.
Comment

Pro
 Supports server side rendering

Riot has support for server side rendering. The views and data are rendered on the server, then those views are sent as HTML to the browser when a user requests them. This helps with initial loading time and is very useful for SEO purposes because the web app is indexed by search engines same as other static websites that have their HTML on the server.
Comment

Pro
 Minimal DOM operations

Riot takes the expressions from a DOM tree and stores them in an array. Each of these expressions points to a DOM node. On each cycle these expressions are compared to the values in the DOM. So when a value has changed, Riot automatically updates the corresponding node. This way the operations are kept to a minimal amount and since the expressions can be cached, going through 1000 of them takes less than 1ms.
Comment

Pro
 Routing just works

No extra effort is required.
Comment

Pro
 Separation of concerns with RiotControl

RiotControl is inspired by Facebook's Flux Architecture Pattern and it's a simple Central Event Controller/Dispatcher for Riot. It's extremely lightweight (like Riot itself) but unfortunately passes up on some features in favor of performance and simplicity. RiotControl helps with storing the stater of the application, by passing events from views to stores and vice-versa. Stores can communicate with many views and views can do the same with many stores, this enables to clearly separate concerns and inter-component communication.
Comment

Pro
 Transpilation

Can use ES6, CoffeeScript, TypeScript, and more.
Comment

Pro
 Better component reusability

Riot enables a team of developers to easily override the template portion of a component per each instance.
Comment

Pro
 Very simple

It makes React look confusing as hell. Nothing against React - It's just that easy to implement!
Comment

Con
 Not suitable for large applications

While Riot is smaller and more lightweight than other alternatives, it comes at the cost of losing features that with other libraries come out of the box. While these features can be added later when needed by using third-party libraries or by writing your own solutions, in the end you lose the advantage of having a lightweight framework in the first place if the application starts getting larger and more complicated while also wasting time by writing solutions to problems that have already been solved.

Not developer-friendly. Switching languages need reloading the whole page. There are third party solutions that work better.
Comment

Pro
 Does not force you into a predefined structure

Mithril's API is pretty small compared to other frameworks. It forces developers to solve problems in JavaScript rather than in Mithril. Other frameworks with massive APIs force you to think in a way that suits the framework. Mithril doesn't do that.
Comment

Pro
 Truly lightweight

Weighs just 5kb gzipped and has no dependencies.
Comment

Pro
 Fast rendering

Mithril's loading times are very fast. This is because it's templates are compiled first and then served to the browser and because it uses a virtual DOM. The virtual DOM is a virtual tree containing all the nodes of the real DOM, every time anything changes in the virtual DOM, Mithril does not re-render the entire (real) DOM, instead it just searches and applies the differences.
Comment

Pro
 Small API

Most other frameworks either offer a huge API to deal with model and view synchronization, or defer to other libraries & plugins to cater for relatively simple use cases. Mithril's API is tiny but complete. The natural reaction is to assume something is missing, but as you build you realise you incredibly fast, powerful and rich applications can be built using nothing but Mithril.
Comment

Pro
 No precompiler needed

Most MVC frameworks use HTML templates to render their views. They are good and useful because they are easy to read and understand. But they add more complication to an app because it's practically a new language and syntax that needs to be learned. Mithril argues that separating markup from logic is just a separation of technologies and not concerns, so you can write Mithril views in JavaScript. Writing them in JavaScript also makes it easier to debug them (HTML templates can't be debugged).

 Allows you to choose which JavaScript libraries to integrate in your project

Mithril gives to the developer the flexibility to chose the best JavaScript library to use for a specific task. A huge framework like Angular instead forces you to use their API, which does not necessarily evolve as fast as the JavaScript ecosystem. Therefore you may end up in case when you are stuck using an API which is just not the best in terms of performance.

 Small API can make it unsuitable for larger more complex projects

Mithril's small API and small number of functions while helpful for small projects and applications where speed is needed, can add another layer of complexity in larger more complex applications where a more extensive API is needed out of the box.

 No server side rendering

Polymer does not support server-side rendering. This results in higher loading times, more HTTP requests and it's not very SEO friendly, since search engines have no way of indexing a page if it's not rendered in the server.

Comment

Pro
 Html markup doesn't use strings

Html markup is a bit simplier as it can be done without using strings.

Con
 Requires more coding compared to other frameworks

Because many features are not provided out of the box, you either have to write more base class code to get those features, or find a plugin that provides them in a way you like. It does not provide much structure either, things like memory management must be kept in mind by the developer, also the lack of view lifecycle management makes state changes prone to memory leaks.

 Extendable with plugins

Because Backbone is so simple, and the different components are very well isolated, it is very easy to extend the functionality of Backbone.

The community also has many plugins already available, which you can pick and choose to use to fit your programming style.
Comment

 Doesn’t force you into a particular coding style or paradigm

There is no “magic” happening below the surface: the source code is clear, readable and well commented. Backbone is also “lightweight” in the sense that it doesn’t require a ton of buy-in to use. It can be easily integrated into an existing page, and you can choose to only use certain components of the library (Views without Models or Collections, for example). While there are many frameworks that seem to be faster to get started with, Backbone’s lack of surprises, clear documentation, speed & flexibility make it a good fit for all types of apps.

 Easy to interface with the API

Backbone provides Model and Collection classes that provide strong analogs to restful resources. These strong analogs allow you to interface more naturally with the API, and makes it easier to write custom behaviors for more complicated API interactions.

Pro
 Gives you the freedom to implement views however you want

A lightweight view class is provided but there is no default templating method implemented. Because views are minimal it allows for much more freedom to implement views however you would like, and because of this freedom it's possible to write views to more uniquely adapt to a problem. User interactions are done within an events object that allows these interactions to be segregated from the rest of the view code which makes the behavioral aspect of the view easier to read and manage.

Deku does not support legacy browsers, or relatively old browsers for that matter. They only support the latest versions of the major web browsers.

 Not a lot of learning resources

Since it's a rather new library and has a small community, there are not many examples where you can learn from out there. There are also few guides and the documentation is not amazing and has some parts that should be covered better.

 IDE for progamming

RC offers an IDE for programming or designing tags for this framework. There is no programming knowledge needed and all tags can be tested instantly.

Pro
 Fast and leightweight

The framework is only approx. 10 kilobytes in size and 2k lines of code. The custom tags can be lazy-loaded or preloaded. The rendering process is fast and selective, so only updated elements are rendered.

 Ractive's two way binding can be a source of bugs

Two-way data-binding means that a HTML element in the view and an Ractive model are binded, and when one of them is changed so is the other. One-way data-binding for example does not change the model when the HTML element is changed. This is a rather controversial subject and many developers consider two-way data binding an anti-pattern and something that is useless in complex applications because it's very easy to create complex situations by using it and being unable to debug them easily or understand what's happening by just looking at the code.

 Live, reactive templating

Ractive.js is a template-driven UI library, but unlike other tools that generate inert HTML, it transforms your templates into blueprints for apps that are interactive by default.

Pro
 Powerful and extensible

Two-way binding, animations, SVG support and more are provided out-of-the-box – but you can add whatever functionality you need by downloading and creating plugins.

 Supports a true templating language

Ractive fully supports a templating language. To be more precise, views are written with a variant of Mustache, which is also extended to support inline JavaScript expressions. Soon it will be able to support other templating languages.

 Virtual DOM

Instead of relying on the DOM, Ractive implements a virtual DOM from scratch, allowing it to calculate precisely what needs to be patched during the next screen refresh. This is orders of magnitude faster than fiddling with the DOM itself.
