Why Vue, not React

Chat asks me regularly why Vue when there are more React jobs. The honest, boring answer: I tried both, React never clicked, and Vue did.

What won me over

• The Composition API gives the same flexibility as hooks, but reactivity stays visible

• A template stays a template — I read markup, not JSX expressions

• The entry bar is lower without the ceiling feeling any closer

What it costs

There genuinely are fewer openings. I know that and I am deliberately going deep on one tool instead of shallow on two. As long as TypeScript and an understanding of reactivity sit underneath, moving to React is a couple of weeks, not a career.
