Framework debates get heated because people argue about the wrong thing. Both Vue and React are excellent. The real question is which one fits this team and this product.
What actually moves the needle
We weigh the team’s existing expertise, the hiring pool, the component ecosystem we’ll lean on, and how much the project needs fine-grained control versus convention. React’s ecosystem and talent pool are unmatched; Vue’s gentler learning curve and batteries-included tooling get small teams productive faster.
Our rule of thumb: optimise for the framework your team can move fastest in and still hire for a year from now. The best framework is the one that ships your product and stays maintainable.
