I agree with your colleague: Vue is a lot more enjoyable to work with. I've disliked React every time I've worked with it and Vue has always been a good experience by contrast. For some reason working with React always makes me feel like it's the Java of JS frameworks. The problem ultimately is, Vue has long since badly lost the mindshare battle, React won. That doesn't matter for every developer or situation of course.
