I often read “I chose Vue because it feels easier than React”.
Programming in React requires some basics in JavaScript and functional programming. It helps if you already have a dev background, but if not, then you will learn things really useful for a developer. And not only for frontend dev.
Then you just have to learn the React API: 4 concepts (component, state, props, render) & 3 functions (didMount, didUpdate, willUnmount).

- wetpaws 8y agoI found the biggest barrier with react in understanding concepts, not learning API. API is 3 methods as mentioned above. Once you got the concepts you will never go back to old ways.
- Kihashi 8y agoThat's why I started working with Vue. It seemed easier to approach for someone coming from a server-side language perspective (I'd mostly worked with Python/Flask and PHP/Symfony before). I could slowly ease into using pieces of it until I learned enough to write a whole project in Vue. You can probably do the same thing in React, but the Vue docs were written to address my use case.
