Vue is much, much faster to load; it is possible to use vue applications over 3G where React apps choke. Vue is also, in my experience, much easier for back-end developers to contribute to without making app-braking performance mistakes. It has a canonical event-driven store, Vuex, with much nicer debugging tools than any of the flux frameworks (it includes getter values, for example). I have also found the error messages more meaningful across the ecosystem; React can sometimes produce very unhelpful errors. What it lacks is some of the maturity. For example, dynamic loading of assets only works if they are static and the cli isn't trivially deplorable. It is also less standard among front-end developers, which mostly comes through in the selection of libraries available (Vue is close enough to vanilla templating that the learning curve is shallow.)

We're happy to fix confusing errors. >much, much faster to load I would love to see some data backing it up. I thought they are roughly in the same ballpark with Vue having slightly more built-in APIs but I might be wrong!

  >> much, much faster to load > I would love to see some data backing it up. In Stefan Krause' js-framework-benchmark, the vue implementation starts in 55ms vs 89-113ms for the various react implementations. See the 'startup time' row here: https://rawgit.com/krausest/js-framework-benchmark/master/webdriver-ts/table.html https://rawgit.com/krausest/js-framework-benchmark/master/we... I haven't profiled vue and react on this particular benchmark, but I have done so for some of the other implementations. Baring anything exotic during startup, the 'startup time' benchmark comes down to package size. It takes time to fetch, parse, compile and load javascript. React is just a bigger package. All disclaimers about benchmarks, microbenchmarks, n=1, YMMV, etc apply.

  I switched my complex app from React to Vue and the speed difference wasn't really noticable. Also, React had far better error messages. Vue's are often useless. This is actually the only thing I miss about React. Vue has been a better experience in every other way.

What I don't like about Vue is that it still has a clumsy templating pseudolang, whereas JSX lets you do what you need to do with inline JS statements.
