Learn ES6 first, it will make learning the framework very easy. Otherwise you will never know the vanilla JavaScript from the React / JSX syntax.

This is very good advice. And learn the basics of JS before you learn ES6. ES6 is mostly just shorter ways of writing things you already could with ES5.

Start small, with a Vuejs project, and put away React.

That would be wonderful, but I would like to have ready-made Vue components that I can plug into my app for rapid development. After searching incredibly hard, I realized that preexisting Vue components/frameworks as they are right now have a lot of bugs, or lack good documentation (some only in Chinese), or have visual glitches.

One can't deny that for such things popularity of the framework is supremely important. Even though I think Vue is superior to React/Angular, only half of the batteries are included.

Interesting, found the opposite.

Every single React component doesn't work, or is behind in terms of development. Poor documentation.

Vue on the other hand, documentation is in at least two languages, works, is up to date, and the community is always responsive.
