#1 reason for me? The community. Hands down the community. Vue has such a better community than react or angular by a Long shot. If you ever end up needing help and jump into the discord channel. No matter how annoying you are the entire community is always patient polite and helpful. I can’t say my experience has been close to the same in react or angular.

Sorry to hear you've had troubles in React community! Do you have any examples of places where people haven't been polite or helpful? Your feedback is appreciated.

  This is quite a while ago now. I have no examples because it was a 1 off thing when I was learning and it just left a sour taste in my mouth, I believe it was in gitter. I didn't know react has discord now though. So I'll have to join that as we've got a new react project at work (even tho I wish we were using Vue). The angular gitter is worse. On their gitter I asked about some performance issues and was told I was "stupid" and "don't do it like that" even tho that's how the documentation showed how to do it, and "you shouldn't be using Angular because you don't know what you're doing". (I was eventually helped in a private chat by someone and resolved the performance issues just changing a few things, but this was driving force to ditch Angular and move to React) Edit: Also for you to reply with concern does give me more faith that the community may be better than I thought. I appreciate your time to read my comment and reply.

    Got it, thanks for elaborating! We have a few resources listed here: https://reactjs.org/community/support.html#popular-discussion-forums https://reactjs.org/community/support.html#popular-discussio... If there’s negative behavior from those communities or if they’re not moderated well we’d love to be alerted so that we stop sending people there. What you went through with that gitter chat sounds horrible!

Have you been on the React discord channel? Acemarke is like 20 people masquerading as a single person. I've never had a bad experience with the React community. Case in point, any whiff of dissatisfaction and Dan Abramov will comment on your post. Literally can't get any better service than that.

  Thanks. I had no idea react had discord, I believe I used gitter? at the time. I may have just had a bad apple but it just left a bad taste in my mouth, something I haven't experienced with Vue.

    Yeah, the Reactiflux community has been on Discord since late 2015 (we were on Slack before that). Don't think this group was ever on Gitter - perhaps there was some other group besides Reactiflux? There's an invite link at https://www.reactiflux.com https://www.reactiflux.com . Please come by and say hi! We've always got a bunch of folks hanging around happy to help answer questions.
