Famo.us vs jQuery UI: What are the differences?

What is Famo.us? A JavaScript framework for everyone who wants to build beautiful experiences on any device. Famo.us is a free and open source JavaScript platform for building mobile apps and desktop experiences. What makes Famo.us unique is its JavaScript rendering engine and 3D physics engine that gives developers the power and tools to build native quality apps and animations using pure JavaScript.

What is jQuery UI? Curated set of user interface interactions, effects, widgets, and themes built on top of the jQuery JavaScript Library. Whether you're building highly interactive web applications or you just need to add a date picker to a form control, jQuery UI is the perfect choice.

Famo.us and jQuery UI can be categorized as "Javascript UI Libraries" tools.

"Speedy as native apps" is the primary reason why developers consider Famo.us over the competitors, whereas "Ui components" was stated as the key factor in picking jQuery UI.

Famo.us and jQuery UI are both open source tools. jQuery UI with 10.7K GitHub stars and 5.06K forks on GitHub appears to be more popular than Famo.us with 6.48K GitHub stars and 765 GitHub forks.

    jQuery
    jQuery is a cross-platform JavaScript library designed to simplify the client-side scripting of HTML.
    React
    Lots of people use React as the V in MVC. Since React makes no assumptions about the rest of your technology stack, it's easy to try it out on a small feature in an existing project.
    AngularJS
    AngularJS lets you write client-side web applications as if you had a smarter browser. It lets you use good old HTML (or HAML, Jade and friends!) as your template language and lets you extend HTML’s syntax to express your application’s components clearly and succinctly. It automatically synchronizes data from your UI (view) with your JavaScript objects (model) through 2-way data binding.
    Vue.js
    It is a library for building interactive web interfaces. It provides data-reactive components with a simple and flexible API.
    Select2
    It gives you a customizable select box with support for searching, tagging, remote data sets, infinite scrolling, and many other highly used options. It comes with support for RTL environments, searching with diacritics and over 40 languages built-in.
