You're absolutely right! Comparing React (a UI library) directly with Vue (a framework) isn't entirely fair since they serve different scopes. A more balanced comparison would be between Next.js (React framework) and Vue (or Nuxt.js, Vue's meta-framework) because both provide routing, SSR (Server-Side Rendering), and other built-in functionalities.

React by itself is just a library for building UI components, whereas Vue is a framework that includes more built-in features like state management (via Vuex or Pinia) and templating. If the discussion is about full-fledged application development, then Next.js vs. Nuxt.js would be a better match.
