Your year and a half old React app shouldn't be "hopelessly out of date" unless you did something very wrong. If you want to use React with Rails, use Rails in API mode and keep the front-end separate. I'm not sure how rewriting in Vue is going to solve any of your problems at all. "The browser loads scripts, why can't that be enough?" Not sure what you mean by this. Whatever you use, the browser will be loading scri…

From a Rails perspective... Vue doesn't require nodejs to follow along with the examples Vue doesn't prescribe to me how I should write my markup (beyond Angular-style attributes) or force me to violate separation-of-concerns. Vue doesn't require it's stuff to be stored in $ROOT/app/assets/javascript/components, when all the rest of my code lives in $ROOT/app/whatever Vue doesn't (or didn't) prescribe all these stupi…

"Vue doesn't have nearly as large of an obnoxious, inexperienced, harebrained, and cloud-huffing crowd that will argue with me when I express distaste in it"

Personal insults aren't cool.

I've used both. What makes me pick Vue in the end is the fact that there is no compiler needed, no jsx and all the non-sense that goes with that. If you want a full blown huge application to last years, then go Angular... Although who knows if Angular will be there in 5 or so years. There is no perfect library/framework but I love Vue because Vue does exactly what it says on the tin.

I would also add that language additions like TypeScript are not REQUIRED, but one can use them without any additional tech stack concerns in their build pipeline. In other words, things that React and Angular suggest (almost seem to require, given that documentation is written for them) as tech stack recommendations are entirely left to your initiative.

I think you are comparing Apple with oranges here. React doesn't have a ViewModel notion that would binds data with Component. The binding is happening in the templates themselves so in the Component themselves and there is no in-between layer AFAIK. If you are looking for exactly this feature you might be disappointed.

Vue.js and Angular have the ViewModel concept.

I have used those 2 frameworks in the past. Could you point me to the documentation about ViewModel in Vue.js I wasn't able to find anything relevant other than:

> Although not strictly associated with the MVVM pattern, Vue’s design was partly inspired by it. As a convention, we often use the variable vm (short for ViewModel) to refer to our Vue instance.

I am sure it wouldn't be very hard to develop such a layer within React if needed.

In fairness, it is entirely possible that the parent was correctly indicating the location of a salient / appreciated point in this discussion thread ;)

I'm not OP, but that's unlikely. This is general language construct and is used in the beginning. No one use "here here!" :D Just use ockham's razor, would you suppose he misspelt a general language construct or created a whole new one? :) I can end this post here, but I want to mention one more thing I'm reminded of: In Sherlock Holmes TV Series (don't remember the episode), a woman dies while writing "Rache" in her…

The funny thing about "Rache" is in the original story it was the other way round. :)

I have been building web apps for 19+ years. I like many of the frameworks out there but for some reason I HATE React. I think JSX is a huge turnoff for me. I just can't get past html in javascript. It feels wrong. With that said, there are so many VERY smart people embracing React, so I am always questioning my "hate". Maybe one day I will change my mind. I haven't use Vue but watched/read about it and seems very co…

Interestingly, I had recently joined a team that was using Ember, and we found that Ember hampered our productivity. We switched to React and was able to rebuild 4 months of Ember work in about 3 weeks of work in React (not sure how many developers were working on the Ember app originally, but it was mainly 2 of us who built the React app), including requisite tests. I’m of the opinion that Angular is much better tha…

A rewrite is always going to take less time to build than the original poorly-specified version when people were trying to figure out what to do.

And the original team could have been more junior, or if similarly-experienced than your 2-person team, adding more people to the team without good leadership can also affect productivity---or as they say in Scrum, "velocity".

In this thread people are fighting about their _opinions_ why they use Vue.js or React. And why X is really better than Y. In reality these programmers don't want to have the feeling they might have made the wrong choice when they used X instead of Y. The idea that they might have taken the poorer choice hurts so much that they need to defend their decision so heavily while in reality taking ReactJS or Vue.js is like…

You can't compare react and vue with pizza and pasta. Pizza and pasta are two finished products, while react and vue are two different ways of building the same product. Your comparison doesn't make sense at all to me.

If you imagine pizza and pasta as ways to get satisfied, then you can consider your final satisfaction as the finished products.

Whether you choose pizza or pasta depends on your personal taste. And maybe on your skillset, if you need to prepare the food. Both lead to mostly the same outcome – your satisfaction.

Whether you choose React JS or Vue.JS also depend on your personal taste and skills. Both lead to a finished product.
