One thing that is really great about Vue is it’s ability to just work with whatever setup you have. Sure if you’re building from scratch it’s great to have robust build tooling, but sometimes you need to write good front end code in the midst of an old app that’s in bad shape. Having used both React and Vue extensively, I’d always reach for Vue when trying to add modern UI components to a legacy app. It manages to work beautifully even when you need it to just be loaded old school via script tag and to interop with adjacent jQuery code.

> I’d always reach for Vue when trying to add modern UI components to a legacy app This is the thing that steers me strongly to Vue. If I'm building a component I like the idea that it's at least potentially reusable in the widest possible set of situations. With React I feel like my component is usable only in other React apps (including the full webpack build etc), which, as popular as React is, is still approximately 0% of the world's web applications. With Vue I feel I can make a component that can drop in seamlessly to just about any HTML page in the world.
