React is * old * (in the frontend world), stable and very very well known. It is a solid, responsible choice to build your framework on top of React in 2022.

You can upgrade a 7 year old React app with very little fuss. Unfortunately, you cannot say the same about Vue or any of the modern libraries. They also have no track record to indicate they will exist 10 years down the line, but I'm pretty sure my React apps will still be fine.

That being said, I'm very excited about SolidJS[1] and the other modern libraries that use JSX.

Vue is about as old as React, and upgrading a React app from class-based to hook-based is as much, if not more, work than going from Vue 2 to Vue 3 (but I don’t want to do either one).

I’m exceedingly unexcited about anything that uses JSX, which is a blight on the landscape.
