Looking for suggestion :

I want to learn a javascript framework leaning towards angular or vue any suggestions?

Want to try something new besides jquery

Last time I took a look at Vue, it was rather terrible with TypeScript, so I chose Angular. React seems nice too. If you don't mind writing vanilla JavaScript, then try Vue too.

My recommendation is react. Angular is too complex to start with in my opinion and you'll grasp the concept of modular ui-components too when using react or vue. Vue on the other hand is "too new", react is older and you'll find more resources and packages for it.
If you don't like react (some people don't like the html+javascript-mix called JSX) you can switch to vue, they're not as different as you might think.

All of this is written from my point of view, i learned react a year ago, did some experimenting with vue and right now i'm learning angular. It took me a while to learn react because the npm-universe was new to me, after that i had no troubles learning vue and now i'm taking my time learning angular. The latter is hard to learn but if done correctly will save you from ugly hacks that i've seen in react-apps in production.

Vue and typescript are well married now. So.. Go with Vue.

Especially if u are new the learning curve is really good and rewarding.

@YouAreAPIRate also! I shot you an email, sorry for taking so long!
