Your goal as a developer is to create a web solution as fast as possible. It is difficult to keep high-quality standards. That is why it is important to make the right of JS frameworks and libraries. React and Vue are the frameworks that demonstrated significant growth in 2018-2019. These tools have more in common than differences. Vue.js framework was created by experienced developers, has solid community support, rich functionality and is probably the most lightweight. 

Another big advantage of Vue.js is that it is easier to understand and learn. Any web application can be created with the help of the Vue framework. So I suggest you freshen up your knowledge of some selected Vue open-source projects.
