Working with React for almost 3 years now. Came from Angular, Bootstrap, jQuery, etc.. Done small and very large projects with it. It scales better than anything I've used before. It's amazingly reliable and robust. Looking at Vue I cannot think of 1 single benefit I gain by switching. It doesn't even come close to what React is capable of imao. I really have no clue why people are pushing this at all.. Are there any examples of large projects that switched from React to Vue without suffering a loss?

I switched a reasonably large project and there were many gains with no loss. They've all been said before by me and other people, including in this thread. If you don't see them it's because you don't want to.

Vue has electrolytes and it is gluten free. Seriously though I think Vue is the latest shiny example of everything that is wrong with the javascript community. Javascripts huge problem is the lack of a standard library or better yet a standard way of doing anything. To fill that void alone came NPM. With a million tiny fragmented micro libraries. Then it became a common to start reinventing the wheel and selling your idea to build up your community by claiming the trivial syntax changes make it so much easier to use. I like you have no clue why people are getting so excited about rewriting their apps all the time. I think of Vue like attempting to reinvent the calculus of react with a clever syntax and more simplified form but results in a Riemann approximation. I think Vue is more frontend focused where react is achieving far more like react fiber. I do not doubt the power of js community to keep cloning things into forms they are more familiar with and claim a smaller payload is best metric of success. Who would have thought so much open source collaboration would lead to so much fragmentation? I wonder what machine learning algos will come up with when they design their own programming language, because I think programming languages are being held back by discussing what syntax makes me feel good to type out.

  The problem is that people assume that old = bad. As soon as one technology is starting to have a nice big community and enough ressources to be usable, the hype for something new destroys it. People could use Angular 2 Years ago just fine, what on earth happened that it suddenly became so terrible? Also those are just frontend frameworks! Why is everyone glorifying those??? Is Backend an after thought nowadays? "We got nodeJS... The frontend guy know JS. He will code something, don't worry."

They switch because it lets you do things the old, incorrect way. Like using jquery. People want what they don't have to spend time learning. They're used to templates with handlebars. Used to mutating variables. That's why I think so many jquery people and those touting "you don't need jsx or babel" use it. Because it lets you be lazy and do things they way you're used to instead of better practices that have been found. It's funny when I hear people act like its way too difficult to setup babel. I'm sorry, but if you're using any ES6 stuff (who doesn't use arrow functions) and you need to support older browsers (a real production app would). Then you're going to need babel and include some polyfills. Go ahead and use vue without all this "horrible babel pipeline" and don't use any language features that have been added in the past three years if that's really what you want.

You probably shouldn't switch. They're both really good templating libraries. Vuejs is smaller an react has react native. The grass is green on both sides.
