...and that's why I switched to Vue nearly four years ago. Best professional decision I've ever made.

Are you finding much "professional traction" with Vue? I really like Vue and use it for personal projects but React seems to dominate the job postings.

  Vue is mostly used in China, where there is a preference for Chinese tech.

    Really? What are they using for things like containerization, observability, testing, or even compilers and operating systems? Really curious if there's an alternative word for all these core tools in the west. From my understanding Vue was heavily adopted in China because it was the only major framework that had its docs translated into Chinese by Evan himself (initially at least). Guessing this isn't accurate nor the case?

    That's probably not the reason why it's heavily used in China. More likely there was some early draw based on Evan You being the figurehead and eventually a community that built up Chinese language documentation around it that made it more accessible to Chinese developers.

      This is true. I'm a Chinese developer and I have saw too many developers here using Vue because of it's good Chinese documentation. I used both Vue and React in my projects, I think one advantage of vue is it makes some concepts explicitly. Like the computed property, its more obvious than the way you do it in React. Vue's document is simple at the early days of the framework, that made it more accessible to new comers, especially people who was trying to migrate away from AngularJS, and didn't want to take Angular 2.x.

    Vue isn't "Chinese tech".

  Less jobs, less developers. It adds up. Also, building a team is much easier. If you bring six React developers around a table, they will have six different ideas about the parts of the ecosystem they like and use. Six Vue developers? They’re ready to kick ass from day 0.
