Discussion on: Why I Converted from Vue to React

Needless to say it all comes down to preference since you could use any of these frameworks to build most web apps.

JSX is not just Javascript since it has markup in it and there is special syntax to separate markup from the actual js code. If it were just Javascript, it wouldn't need a special compiler in the first place. This is more than obvious.

Anyway, tools are just tools. Languages are just languages. Pick whatever gets the job done.

Javascript will die some die, just like Vue and React will die too, just like the almighty Jquery is dying just now.

As a developer, what matters to me is to spend my time getting the job done rather than advocating in favor of a particular framework.

Btw, I develop frontends using Angular, React, Vue, XAML, Blazor and vanilla javascript/html. As I said, they are nothing more than tools.
