Ease of use, time to pick up, docs, "hype" vs functionality, extensibility, which one of them had IDE support (Vue because it's not a new language), which one of them seemed the most sane. Those are what come to me off the top of my head, Vue is also faster (if it matters in a web app...) and can really be used as just a component if needed (without a need to learn a new language and use every precompiler under the sun).
What's your rational for preferring Vue over React?

I will note it doesn't have the same tooling, but since it's plain JavaScript so it's not a huge problem.
