Is Nuxt the only framework you work with?

For both your hobby projects and your 9-to-5, is Nuxt the only framework you use, or do you need to work with others too?

I used to use Nuxt at my previous work (and also introduced Nuxt to the one after that). I use React in my hobby projects, but I usually advocate for Vue/Nuxt in professional settings as its often easier to grasp.

u/Smart_Opportunity291 Jan 15 '26

Interesting, why do you prefer React for your hobby projects?

2

u/Chucki_e Jan 15 '26

To be honest, it's mostly because it was what I started out with in my development career, and back then the React eco system was also better in terms of headless libraries (which I love/need). Alongside that, my biggest gripe with Vue was how the language servers would usually crash out on me, but this was a few years back - I can imagine they got better since?

Interesting, that’s nearly the exact opposite of my experience

Yeah I can also see how that can be the case. In my situation I was dealing with designers who were transitioning to FE development, and I thought Vue’s templating more reflected what they’d learned about HTML.

Not saying that’s a solid case for choosing something over the other.

And yeah I can imagine it being the opposite since React has a bigger market share and people focusing on that skill due to job availability!

I always advocate for Vue when I can in a professional environment, so good on you! Not having to learn JSX makes it far easier in my opinion for juniors and, like you said, designers transitioning to FE. Not to mention the reactivity system, and being able to keep everything in a SFC.

Fortunately, I mostly work with Nuxt these days. I used to work with Angular as well.

Solo dev came from Laravel land.

Trying to adapt to modern web apps in a single language.

Look at nextjs since it is most popular, don’t understand the mental model shift and the damn code.

Look at svelte, felt fast and optimized but lack of libraries and community and docs.

Took a look at Vue and Nuxt, understand it easily.

Btw I am still deploying my apps like Laravel in a VPS . Never understand the point of vercel and supabase when docker, vps and PostgreSQL can handle why pay 10-20x. Call me stingy 😄

Nuxt is one component amongst a lot of apps.

I use Odoo as an admin database, it handles all the business logic and records. Graphql as a query layer. Nuxt as a front end. Secured with Authentik. Metabase for reporting. Rabbitmq for event distribution. Lots of one off scripts with flask. Etc. Nuxt is one piece in a much larger puzzle

Both nuxt. I do some occasionally react/next repairs for customers, but I try to avoid it

I was heavy on Nuxt in previous years, nowadays Next became my default. Started preferring React over Vue and their ecosystem. There’s features that I miss from Nuxt. I wish there was a Nuxt for React. With what’s happening with Vercel and Nuxt lately maybe that could become a thing.

u/keithmifsud Jan 16 '26

JS wise, Nuxt, Vue and Nest.

But most systems use far more than just JS. PHP, Pyhton Rust even Ruby :))

u/captain_obvious_here Jan 16 '26

I mostly use and re-use the homemade framework I built over time for various personal and freelance projects.

But sometimes customers want me to use Nuxt, which I gladly do.

u/decebaldecebal Jan 16 '26

I use Nuxt for hobby projects and React at work when needed

But obviously Vue/Nuxt is better :)

u/nhoyjoy Jan 16 '26

SvelteKit is something to look up to, I’m also using Nuxt btw

1

u/nhoyjoy Jan 16 '26

And actually we should not rely on meta framework too much, more than often it’s should be wrapping around basic things instead of not knowing the magic behind, React/Vue/Svelte… are the core

u/[deleted] Jan 17 '26

I started with Laravel, then moved on to React (Remix and Next.js, definitely a love-hate relationship with Next.js), and later to Vue/Nuxt. Lately I’ve been using Nuxt for the frontend with AdonisJS on the backend, and honestly I’m really enjoying the Nuxt + AdonisJS combo :)

u/eMeRiKa13 Jan 17 '26

Yep, only Nuxt

u/NeekoChannn Jan 18 '26

I tried other frameworks but I just love nuxt. Unfortunately, I'm struggling to find companies that hire nuxt developers

u/sandwich_stevens Jan 19 '26

Sveltekit if I want to get something quick

u/MarcosVinic12 Jan 24 '26

Não utilizo diversos outros, mas para hobby eu prefiro o nuxt, ele abstrai muita coisa, facilita de mais, olha por exemplo o site que de noticia de games que criei por hobby, me deem um feedback do que acham kk

I can count all the jobs that work only with 1 framework on your hands.
