I just couldn’t get into React on an aesthetic level, so I can’t speak it what it offers practically. But for the times I’ve needed to wade into frontend, I’ve had a really pleasant experience with Vue. It has a gentle learning curve and good documentation. The declarative templates and single-file components are especially nice. To me, React is the JavaScript of JavaScript frameworks and Vue is the Python (but not in adoption/third party library support, obviously).
