I started with Vue then moved into React, and I do enjoy how much closer it feels to JS/TS. There's a few of areas where I think React is definitely simpler than it was with Vue 2.x and shudder at how I probably used to have to do things to truly do it "the Vue way" (and there are parts I miss like the built-in, easy slots).

However, I think Vue's dev tooling is way more developer friendly than React's. They probably end up mostly equivalent in how they let you find performance issues or debug states, but I've never been able to understand why React's devtooling just feels half-finished in comparison.

I guess Vue spoiled me a bunch in how approachable its UI was. It may be me misremembering, but I also remember it not hanging or erroring nearly as much as React's devtooling.
