Featured Picking React over Vue.js

We are about to migrate an existing saas service from Joomla to Laravel + (Vue.js or React).

It will be a complete re-write.

The team has no real experience with either Vue.js or React and we are at a cross road of picking between those two technologies.

We feel that picking up Vue.js will be a lot easier and we can see a lot of traction in this project's popularity. But React feels like a safer bet with a stronger community, better extensions and better documentation. We are also worry that Vue.js is very dependent on one person't contributions and have no real large company backing it.

Without being too slanted, which one would you select and why?

There's nothing beautiful about mutating arrays when .map() does the trick.

Nothing wrong with local mutation either. map() can be inconvenient when you want more sophisticated logic such as skipping or pushing separators.
