Hey guys, so i have a dilemma. I am an aspiring front end developer who has learnt html, css and i have solid vanilla experience with various random projects. Now i wanna learn a framework/library
thoroughly and i cant decide between React or Vue. I tried out both and i don't have a preference.. There are still more React jobs in my country but Vue is becoming more and more popular.. What do i do now

    Do react because it’s more “different” than vue. It’s easier to switch to vue with the existing concepts of react than the other way around, due to JSX.

    (but personally I would recommend an real enterprise framework like angular, or looking to web-components like svelte or stencil)

    @petergriffin Thanks a lot for the quick reply! Svelte sounds really good but there are nearly no job offers related to it in here and i would like to land my first junior position asap

    I started with React then had to switch over to Angular for work. I feel like the switch would have been easier the other way around as the learning curve seemed harder with Angular (at least for me). I’ve dabbled around with Vue a tiny bit. Seemed quite easy after having spend quite some time working with Angular.

    I’d say go for Angular first if you’re not too much in a hurry.

    Back end guy, just picked React with TypeScript for a personal project.

    @curiousjoe @kecerud Yes React WITH Typescript is a good way to go. I had learned TS with React before going to Angular and it definitely helped

    @black-kite exactly. Angular can be a bitch, but it teaches a lot of important basic concepts and how good architecture can be done.

    And not with weird spaghetti routing with packages of dubious quality.

    Blazor.

    All others are not even a competition.

    @NoToJavaScript ewgh, don’t get me started where it’s slacking.

    It’s cool, but it ain’t the solution to it all bruh.
