I've used both extensively and what makes me lean towards Vue on new projects is the reactivity system. It seems that with React you always have to wrestle with it to not do too many re-renders, but Vue is more likely to update only the parts of the dom that need updating out of the box.

With composition API and Vue 3 bringing typescript support and hooks to me it's a no brainer to choose Vue.

One other thing is that I've seen people who are normally doing only backend pick up Vue in a day or 2, but React takes longer to grok. You're probably likely to find more people who have already learned React than Vue though, due to its popularity.

React also has a bigger community but I haven't felt that I was lacking when looking for Vue libraries.

I feel the exact opposite about the reactivity.

React is: always right, sometimes slow

Vue is: always fast, mostly right

I prefer fixing performance bottlenecks later over having any doubt about the correctness of my view or debugging why this one property only sometimes becomes reactive. But I can see how others would feel differently.

In my experience those optimisations tend to never happen unless they make the app unusable, leading to tons of WebApps working like crap.Probably you work on a company that budgets a lot to eorgormsnce optimisation, etc or you just care a lot about it, bit in my experience most companies and most developers don't have the time or motivation for it. I'm tired of sluggish crap.

I agree. The reactivity system is definitely less verbose in Vue compare to React. And when you start working with things like Redux it gets very layered and complex very fast.
