Vue vs React: 2018 Edition

Vue.js

Vue.js is a similar web development tool – it’s a JavaScript framework that aims to tackle the same problems as React but in a different way. Vue.js uses a template system instead of JSX, arguably making it easier to integrate into existing web applications. Because the templates use regular HTML Vue.js can be integrated into existing code quite easily, without the need for a build step. Vue.js is also said to have a flatter learning curve as well – something that I’ve recently verified as I’m new to Vue.js. The other main thing to mention about Vue.js is that it’s development is not backed by a large corporation like Facebook.

React

A side-effect of a large market share is development speed. React shipped React Hooks in Feb 2019, while Vue 3 is in the early alpha phase as of writing this post. Now, I hear you say “But React is backed by Facebook, a huge corporation!?!” This is true, so there may indeed be more people working on React, speeding up development.
