@zain Why are you thinking about JavaScript frameworks this early? And what does this have to do with Magento?

Build you application with ‘normal’ Blade views first and then enhance your application with JavaScript, rather than making it rely on it.

Not every one is using a feature-rich browser like Google Chrome on a powerful desktop machine. People seem to have forgotten about progressive enhancement and instead rush to building JavaScript-heavy applications that just fall apart on anything but a modern browser browser on a desktop machine. I’ve browsed JavaScript-based sites that even look horrible on my MacBook.

@martinbean Thank you very much for reply. Yes, you are right. Actually i want to build the system that gives e-commerce functionalities and that system can also handle some Reporting/Accounts/Warehouse/Sales and Purchase section. I was thinking Js frameworks because i want to make it on API model based application.

I think Magento is a good choice to do. You can build a system to improve the checkout step such as One Step Checkout. I think it's so interesting

Magento is a better platform as it is more secure and offers efficient cache management. Moreover, there are third party plugins available which enhance the store's functionalities. For example, you can customize the checkout page in Magento 2 with the additional fields.

Magento is bloated.. that's the problem with all those pre-built shopping carts unfortunately.
