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 ordering pizza or pasta. You usually don't want to have both at the same time. So you need to explain why pizza is better than pasta tonight. Only that you usually have to stick longer around with Vue.js or ReactJS once chosen. Enjoy your choice and solve real problems, but stop fighting about it, programmers. Pasta and pizza will always both win.



This should be the top comment. This sort of "debate" has happened since the dawn of programming and will continue to happen until AI programs for us.

The reality is it is all shite! Just get your job done.


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.


Say you're about to cook pizza or pasta, you use flour and tomato for both. Comparison not 100% off IMO.


No. 1000 times no. For the pizza base you use flour, water, salt and yeast. For fresh pasta most of the time you use flour and eggs. The process moreover is completely different. You NEVER use tomato for making the fresh pasta or the pizza base. You may use tomato as a condiment for pasta and pizza. This comparison is even more wrong than comparing apples and oranges. But I expect that unlike me you never cooked pizza and fresh pasta if you can't see the obvious difference.


In fact I'm a seasoned pizza cook but pasta is still a pending subject of mine.


In fact I'm a seasoned pizza

I completely misunderstood your comment. I might need to go get food soon.
