Perhaps you're just most comfortable with react and vue seeming inferior is only a product of that. Both are great at what they do and allow people to be very productive. I personally like both and don't agree that vue only copies react. I definitely prefer how react manages state and redrawing, but both approaches have merits. As always, pick what suits the problem you need to solve.

For a software project, library/framework choice is the most critical thing one must do.

For the VueJS case, i did really want to adopt it for my projects, but there's a fact that i'm not confident. They're not just "function".

And as i said above, in React case, they're moving away from "component lifecycles", so if i chose VueJS, i'll get stuck in that paradigm.

You should try software engineering instead of chasing fads. You cannot go wrong choosing either framework.

It's about the HOW.

How we think, how we code. Yes, you can't go wrong choosing one or another, but you can't change anything in your mind about software engineering.

Hopefully, your mind can change when presented with new information.

React still has a "component lifecycle" -- it's just with hooks the way you interact with that lifecycle is different [1].

> Hooks are a more direct way to use the React features you already know — such as state, lifecycle, context, and refs. They don’t fundamentally change how React works, and your knowledge of components, props, and top-down data flow is just as relevant.

And if you like functional components, VueJS has them as well [2]

This is officially trolling.
