Discussion on: Why I Converted from Vue to React

First off, I believe anyone should be able to use any JS framework they want. You can get the job done with just about any of them, and their are successful big applications written in all of them.

Though I will say I disagree with the point that Vue is doing magic, but React is just JavaScript. If we wanted to do that I'd say that Vue is just an object. I disagree because React isn't just JavaScript. It returns JSX. That is not valid JavaScript. It's an extension of it, but it has to be compiled to regular JavaScript still. There is still a lot of magic happening for your "regular JavaScript function" to actually be able to be ran in a browser.

Again, you can definitely use which ever framework you prefer and don't even need to apologise for moving away from one framework. Just thought that with that point you ignored the "magic" that React is also doing.
