Why would someone use React in 2021 unless you're working on an existing project or your job requires it? Vue 3 and Svelte are so much better in every single way.

Have you used hooks? How about the eco-system?

I currently work with BlitzJS. It has Next.JS and React under the hood. I am 10x more productive than with Vue 2.

At this point, I couldn't care less about Vue 3. What does it bring to the table? Nothing.

Where is React-Query? Hmm? How about React-Table, React-Virtual, Final Form, Zod, just to name a few. Sure, I can see you are scrambling now on Google to find their Vue equivilents. But with BlitzJS, you no longer have to think in terms of FE and BE. I can do things like putting up a complex form, validating it on the FE AND BE and then adding to the database with full error capability. Oh and in under 2 minutes. Not 10 mins or so with Vue or Svelte.

I shudder to think the steps involved to do this with Vue 3 or Svelte.

Also Typescript, omg. Sure Vue3 has it now and Svelte they are talking about it? Like I say, who cares.

I'm far more productive now than I ever was. Oh and we are talking from small apps, to small sites. To large very large and complex enterprise apps. Vue and Svelte fall apart when you go past the small stage. So many comments on HN from people who went from Vue to React with big apps.
