A feature difference that sets them apart is their eventing systems also and "dependency detection".
So instead of having to use a bunch of componentWillUpdate, Vue automatically tracks what state has changed and saves the users the cost of needed to do these kind of things in React.
See here:
Oh and. There is nothing you cannot do in Vue, that you can do in React.
JSX? Check
HOC? Check
Jest/Enzyme? Check (Enzyme => Avioriaz)
Context? Check
So to me it's like: If you are going to choose React as a project, just use Vue instead!

UPDATE: I just realized you asked why React over Vue. lol. In which (comments below have shown me its vice versa). Sorry!
Well I can say this:
React right now is better then Vue in only one way that I can think of. It's ecosystem has a pure native solution that is pretty strongly maintained. Right now Vue has Weex and NativeScript, but I'd like to see Vue/Evan write an official Native Renderer. However that would take a lot of time, and probably not on the roadmap for vue.

Yeah, I figured you either deliberately or accidentally misread the question :)
