> Vue Native transpiles to React Native.

Why would you not use react native directly then? I don't get it

A lot of us prefer Vue over React, I for one favor Vue over React personally and have been using it in all my recent projects. So, just a matter of preference for those who don't want to use React.

I'm curious, what do y'all actually like about Vue over React? I spent over two months doing proof-of-concept migration work for an AngularJS to (React-Redux|Vue-Vuex) and, other than the component-data wiring it does internally, I found it to be worse in nearly all respects.

Despite being an "opinionated" framework, Vue provides so many escape hatches and alternatives that it, in practice, hardly seems opinionated. Additionally, the templating language it promotes seems like a step backwards compared to JSX render functions. As it were, the "unopinionated" React, by offering a small handful of primitives, ends up making things simpler and more ergonomic to work with.

I really can't seem to grok why folks like Vue over React.

I've been working with RN for a few months now. Good luck with that. I can't imagine another layer of abstraction.

This is ironic, given that a lot of people advocating for vue on the web talk about how it's better because it doesn't involve all that complicated transpilation.

[Can_Not]

Its actually practical to start using Vue in existing projects without a complicated transpilation process. It's not ironic, VueJS shines in both scenarios.

It's a choice. Basically you have Java, Kotlin, C# and SWIFT for native apps, why use React Native. If you learning React is easier for web dev, then I'll say Vue is even easier for them. If you know React then Vue-Native isn't worth it.

Because you prefer vue.
