I dislike the templating language, preferring jsx which is mostly standard js syntax, e.g.: Vue: {{i}} React: items.map((i) => {i} )
Just to make things clear. You can use JSX with Vue as well. It's even a recognized way to write code in the official documentation ( https://vuejs.org/v2/guide/render-function.html#JSX ). JSX is just a language that can be interpreted into code for React & Vue.

This is very true, not just because of the libraries you don't know yet but also because those you do know are continuously evolving. I've been working in the React ecosystem for about 4 years now. I think constantly keeping an eye on the changing ecosystem, and constantly cha…
But you can't live like that forever. Things need to remain constant so you can work on difficult business logic instead of changing how you do standard things.

I too love the constant change its exciting. But you can't live like that forever. Things need to remain constant so you can work on difficult business logic instead of changing how you do standard things.
