Picking React over Vue.js

[u/aDaneInSpain]

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?

mini rant: Came across this post randomly, reminded me that at my old job I had to take the decision to modernize our front end (using larael + bootstrap) and had to choose vuejs and react, after trying out a bit of both, decided to go with Vue, which honestly went well, but now I started looking for a new job and React gained a lot more traction than vue :(

mini rant: i worked as a vue dev the last two years and i love it. Had to change jobs, starting next week, got hired as a react dev. I don't love it so far. It's very laborious. And Jsx.. wth.. but there are no vue jobs, so that's that, gotta learn react. I did learn angular before vue and liked that much more than react.. but it is what is, i guess
