I've tried both and disliked both. Already before I did I was wary of patronizing-feeling statements like these, though. The Vue community in particular, or at least the vocal pockets of it I've come across online, seem like a web dev counterpart to the Rust evangelism strike force.

I wanted to like Vue but when I tried it I didn't. For writing ordinary business applications I wish React reified lists more than it does, but what I like about React is that I know how to draw absolutely anything with it, including 3-d worlds, see

This is a bit reductive.

For what it’s worth, I’ve used Vue and don’t like it (stuff like custom directives that are nonstandard html, not as explicit about event handling and data flow, etc).

I’ve seen a lot of buzz (particularly on HN) about Svelte but have lacked the motivation to try it.
