Share frontend development technologies, frameworks, tools and best practices, solve development challenges, exchange learning experiences.
I want to learn a frontend framework and I'm torn between Vue3 and React. Can anyone share the pros and cons of both and their use cases? Which one is easier to pick up for frontend beginners?
As a developer with 5 years of React and 3 years of Vue experience, I think Vue is more beginner-friendly. Vue's template syntax is closer to HTML, has fewer concepts, and is quicker to get started with. React's JSX and functional programming concepts might be a bit abstract for beginners.
I think it depends on your learning goals. If you want to quickly start building projects, Vue is indeed simpler. But for long-term development, React has a larger ecosystem and possibly more job opportunities. Also, React's concepts are common in other frameworks, so learning it will help you understand other technologies too.
Thanks for the suggestions everyone! I think I'll start with some small projects using Vue since it seems more suitable for my current stage. I'll learn React once I have a solid foundation.
