I'm learning Vue.js this weekend, so far it's been fantastic! I can get a practice app up and running much more quickly than React

I still have no idea about the benefits of either react or vue. I am new to web development and I am wondering what framework I should learn. It seems like the UI stack changes every year with a new "ultimate" framework.

good to hear i might do the same next weekend LOL

@SirWindfield you're right, in front end development, just in a matter of years or even months there will always be a trending new technology, so for me there's no such thing as "ultimate" framework for the front end..

That's why we front end devs must keep an open mind and be able to learn fast. Vue won many hearts because it's easier to learn and simpler to set up than React :D

@fyzrn I would love to write my app using web technologies and electron but the feat that in one or two years, my front end framework will be obsolete... I cringe...

I also decided to give Vue a shot this weekend. Looks very promising so far...

I don't really know what to say about these two.

So far it seems like, vue is more like js in html. While react tends to take complete control over an app.

React so far feels to me like programming a web app. While vue is writing in HTML and then injecting JS in it.

I have been ignoring Vue for sometime, I will do the same next weekend. I like react better

Vue for me is better because i do not want js to take over my project with react always felt like once you use it you have to conform your project to it

@penderis isn't that true with all ui framework? You can't reuse any code written with vue, react, angular for another library without major refactoring.

@SirWindfield you sadly mistaken my friend, there were 16 new ones for 2016 alone. React and Vue are the ones that made it to the top.

@RTRMS will it be 17 in 2017? Hey, that's not so bad, at least it's not growing exponentially.

@AlmightyBaka there may of been more, it was 16 in August or October, I forget.

I thought Vue JS was also popular because it's documentation doesn't suck? Seriously, check out the docs.

@mzgaljic I know, it's awesome, after many years of reading horrible docs I was confused for a few minutes, I had trouble understanding the fact that I could understand then.

If anyone interested, I too delved into VueJS a short while ago, https://hackernoon.com/vuejs-first-...

@mzgaljic yep, the devs totally nailed it with the docs
