AG Ahmed G. Sr. Frontend Developer Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 10/31/2018 "Handlebars made it easier to me build vanillaJS apps" 3.5/5 What do you like best about handlebars? almost standard template library, handlebars made it easier for me build vanillaJS app the right way, It was easy to convert most of my components from the standard html/js+jquery templates into handlebars with mustache templates, this made my code cleaner, my files size decreased and code is more maintainable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about handlebars? handlebars still miss some standardization to make it compatible with other template systems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering handlebars: Handlebars is best choice for building heavy template based frontend apps, the easiest to adopt and implement with minimal changes to your html files/templates. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is handlebars solving and how is that benefiting you? I build frontend apps every day, and the technologies I use vary from angular, vueJS React, and for sure vanillaJS, all the previous technologies make it easier to separate logic from styling, except vanillaJS which require more effort to code neat and clean code, Handlebars made this easier to me by simply providing this missing part of the html binding to JS code, easy, clean and efficiently perform on browser.
