New React projects are today much simpler, thanks to new libraries to manage state like Mobx, or efficient starter kits. So without denying the benefits you encounter with the migration to Vue.js, I think that a full rewrite of you React app in "modern React" would have been a good thing too.

And how long until the next "modern React" will land? That's what drove me away from React.

Before, React projects evolved because they have to. They became too complex, to clumsy, etc. But now ? React is stable, the way to develop apps is well known, etc.

I'd probably like to spend dev time on meeting business demands rather than rewriting the whole project every time a new modern something pops up. Vue 2 breaks little in terms of compatibility with Vue 1.
