Vue vs. React

What is your favourite framework for tackling frontend web development projects - Vue or React?

patatino 6y ago
I like both, seriously. I have done projects in both. I would say the learning curve is steeper in React so if you have to pick one to get up and running fast maybe Vue is the better choice. I liked learning Vue, but not so much learning React. But once it clicked with react it became my favorite.

  Is either one any easier when migrating an existing web?
  - hvgoldie 6y ago
    yes this would be good to know!

    Vue is much easier in that sense. You can just import the library using <script src"<<vue cdn addr>>"></script> and you can start using vue right there.

    I'm working in a large GWT codebase right now and I have this fantasy where I convert the app to Vue or React. I think React hooks would complement a lot of the current components which are table rows or data-helpers. That said I haven't looked at Vue 3 very much which is adopting a similar function-based component pattern.

  Good insight thanks!

I prefer vue because I'm not a fan of JSX in React and it's not made by Facebook. But it's pretty much the same.

I personally found vue to be much easier to pickup compared to React so I would pick vue. But React is good enough as well I am sure.

  nice - thanks for the comment!

Used both for years in production. Maintain several core Vue libraries. Honestly I am happy with both - much of a muchness really.

Vue is easier to get started with. React has more jobs [0]. They are both good choices and have a lot of community support.

Recently I've really been enjoying Vue. It feels lightweight and I feel like I have finer control over application state, flow, and UI. I like React too but I feel like the component lifecycle is a little more opaque and some bugs slip through. React hooks have certainly alleviated some of this.

React - the era of Hooks. Vue - not very used to the template syntax.

React, but that’s a fluke. I learned it first. I don’t see much advantage for me personally going and learning Vue.

I picked Vue because I didn't care for JSX. Vue and React seem very similar conceptually but I don't have a ton of experience with React. I think they're both good choices. Vue has gained a lot of traction with Laravel developers which might influence your choice if you decide to use PHP and or Laravel.

Expand your search. Our team evaluated react and Vue a year ago . We ended up choosing Svelte. We love it.

A matter of taste, but I really enjoy vuejs state management with vuex.

Started with react but never got into it enough to finish anything production-ready. Then get hooked up with the Vue and now working with it for like 4 years now. I've even wrote a note about it: https://lukaszkups.net/notes/thanks-to-vuejs-ive-found-front-end-development-fun-again/ https://lukaszkups.net/notes/thanks-to-vuejs-ive-found-front...

React, hooks and JSX are amazing.
