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

It's just not (usually) worth the effort to adapt Vue when there's React.

This sentence makes literally zero sense.

Remind you that I'm talking about enterprise here

"enterprise" you're talking about means nothing and says nothing about the quality of the tool. Enterprise merely means "they probably have more money to burn than agencies".

In real world scenario, you'd expect frameworks not to alter the way you use underlying language. Vue excels here, since it's good old JavaScript (or TypeScript) without any surprises. It's template syntax resembles HTML more than anything else. The 90% of the learning curve is done by this.

Choosing accurate tooling DOES matter and SHOULD matter. Sane choice is choosing a tool that doesn't require years of adapting to the tool. React is not like that. It's also made by the largest spyware company on the planet. There's plenty of moral reasons why not to go with React, but they also make it easy to avoid it because of technical reasons.

I consulted on plenty of enterprise projects. React ones were always the ones that went through the hands of multiple "teams", they were never finished and it was spaghetti code with a ton of libraries thrown together, mixed in a nice soup of "where the hell does this thing even start executing" React noodles.
