I'm a professional PHP, Python and Javascript developer from the UK. I've worked with Django, Laravel, and React, among others. I also maintain a legacy Zend 1 application.
I've dabbled with Vue a couple of times, but I've found it to be too complex for my liking, with more magic than I'd like and an uncomfortable amount of additional syntax to learn.
React is conceptually simpler, and thus I find it easier to understand what is going on. As I generally write only functional components nowadays, it's easy to understand a component as just a function that returns HTML. It also tends to encourage writing smaller components than Vue, making them easier to understand. There's also less special syntax, since apart from a few differences like className and htmlFor, the templates are mostly just Javascript. That does make the barrier to entry with React a bit higher, though.
I really enjoy working with React, since I've always enjoyed writing Javascript and I feel like it embraces the language to a greater extent than Vue or Angular.
