I've worked in Vue since 0.12, and have done a few React projects along the way, and mainly manage projects using React now. Overall I've seen people make a mess of both. More packages is good and bad. Any given project you picked up in Vue over the years mostly used the same router, store, etc. You didn't have to learn a new css-in-js library every time you work on a different codebase. The only thing consistent was everyone (over)using Redux, which I honestly wasn't a big fan of vs Vuex. React did / does have a much larger selection of quality ui component libraries, which is nice. The biggest upsides imo were that Vue has relatively bad typescript support vs React, and it's easier to hire shitty contractors that already know React.

Yeah, I share this same sentiment. I look at each of the 3 big reactive frameworks as different types of screwdrivers in my tool belt; each with their own pros/cons, and purposes. As commenter above said, I’ve seen a mess of all 3 frameworks; and I’ve also seen some beautiful works of art, with even Angular too lol.
