React vs. Vue (vs. Angular)

1

React

React is a trend-setter and a highly demanded skill in the industry. React is a clear leader today, both in industry-hype and community appreciation. It’s super-popular and, to be honest, it deserves the status very well.React makes it easy to build both complex and straightforward web and mobile applications, but it comes with a price — framework complexity and boilerplate. The basics are relatively intuitive, but large React projects tend to get complicated, and the fragmentation in the community does not help. The fact that React introduced many new paradigms has some negative effect on its learning curve.

Vue.js

Vue is the new “hotness” in the front-end industry. Of course, hype has also some downsides, but Vue has been gaining stable traction for a long time and developers are eager to get their hands on a Vue project as part their FOMO. These days, it is not uncommon to find developers who have some experience with Vue.

AngularJS

Angular is our current framework, we’re on v1. Angular v2 was introduced with many improvements, but it wasn’t backward compatible. That means upgrading to latest Angular requires similar efforts as switching to any other framework. As a result, motivation to use Angular has dropped majorly, within Fundbox and in the industry as a whole as developers was let down.
