The best technology for your MVP
When it comes to the ideal choice between Vue and React for MVPs and early startups, the debate often generates plenty of heat. As someone well-versed in both, here's my take.
From an early startup perspective, getting things done swiftly and with minimal complexity is crucial. This is where Vue shines. Vue's simplicity, clear documentation, and easy learning curve are a developer's dream. We can quickly piece together an MVP, test its viability, and get it in front of users in a jiffy.
However, let's not rule out React's appeal. React is known for its flexibility, component-based structure, and vast community support. Its prowess in handling larger applications is undeniable. But for MVPs and early startups, the learning curve and the intricacy of best practices can be overwhelming.
Personally, I lean towards Vue for startups and MVPs. Its straightforward approach makes it a breeze to get your ideas off the ground swiftly and with less room for error. However, the choice between Vue and React can be dictated by various factors like the project's complexity, team's familiarity with the libraries, or even personal preference.
The best advice? Pick what feels right and works best for your specific project needs. Remember, the goal is to build a working MVP, learn from user feedback, and iterate fast.

For quick ideas I prefer familiar stack. But from time to time we need to use some new frameworks to be up to date with the trend.
That's for sure. I also feel it is much simpler working with a well-known technology, and there is probably a way that you'll be a top-notch professional in this area. But it seems like now the market is too dynamic to stand on some technology for too long.
I concur with your points.
My final tip about choosing the best technology stack for your MVP accordingly to your specific goal/project scope.
We use React because it's what I'm familiar with. It's a good way to rapidly build an MVP and test assumptions. Ultimately, my users don't care if we've written it in React, Vue or PHP, as long as it works and we get some feedback, we can always refactor it later if necessary.

I think you can generally build almost everything with React
Good comparison between Vue and React. In my opinion, Vue is better to start fast and without many complications. But, it is also true that React is very good when there is more Experience. In the end, as you say, it all comes down to what you like more and what fits better to your style. I'm going to read that article you mention. Thanks
I'm glad you like it!
The only few things that matter are:
If you're familiar with the stack but it takes 15 steps to deploy your project or maintain it and you can't automate that fast enough - skip
if you don't know pros/cons then do research, otherwise, you might be stuck with troubles down the road and have to solve them with ugly solutions
Good points, I see these working
I 100% agree. Esepcially with the last bit of advice, picking what works best for your specific goal/project.
I use React because it's what I'm used to. It's a good way to quickly get an MVP out and get some validation. At the end of the day, my users don't care if I've written it in React, Vue or PHP, as long as it works and I get some validation, I can always rewrite it later if need be.
