Discussion on: React vs Vue - Which should you choose?

I think Vue is a good choice for people wanting to start front-end development. It's fundamentals are pretty straightforward and it has it's own ecosystem that saves you time for searching what tools you should use. Also the community is big and involved in discussions and support.

It's worth noting that it will be difficult to develop a professional career in front-end development knowing only one framework. You should be open and flexible to learn new ones if the situation requires. Just treat framework as a tool in your toolbox that should be updated depending on requirements. 🙂

So what you're saying is that a developer shouldn't learn how to solve problems, they should forcibly learn frameworks because knowing the framework is what matters but learning algorithms / underlying concepts / the language itself (JS) is less important?

Point me to any part of my comment that said that learning framework is more important than learning language / algorithms / problem solving. It was never the question. This topic was about choosing specific framework over those two, never about what is more important.

Obviously without that fundamental knowledge you will struggle badly when it comes to feature implementation, so you should not skip that and also focus on developing your fundamental knowledge in programming. Frameworks are here to give you tools and structure to develop the solution that solves your problem. The solution itself is another matter.

The part where you imply something without explicitly writing it is when you suggest that shoving frameworks in your CV helps one's career. It does not. That's why I expanded on what you implied but did not type.
