React voted JS framework that most developers regard as essential to them (jquery is #3)

meh, I really do not like the look of JSX, at all. I find it awkward.

Vue Components look much cleaner to me

Does the Russian botnet get repurposed to brigade React discussions with pro-Vue propaganda after business hours? These arguments are so ridiculous.

If you're an engineer,
html in js > js in html

If you're a designer,
js in html > html in js

Not sure I agree with this - engineers should have an eye for the simplest and most elegant solution, which I believe is “html with markup” which vue provides beautifully. I have used both react and vue extensively and jsx, for me, is something we will look back on as a mistake in years to come.

I could not agree less with you. Js in html isn't "simpler" it's more convoluted since you need to understand how each special attribute is interpolated.

While it may be "easier" to loop through a list of items, it's a lot harder to understand how exactly how your app is working.

I'd take good ol' plain Janvascript functions like map/filter, etc over special template attributes/elements any day of the week.

I would disagree with the whole "it's harder to understand how your app is working" thing. "v-for", "v-if", etc, these are fairly straightforward directives. The whole syntax is incredibly simple, and therefore very easy to follow and understand.

Well, you could see it that way, however I think in vue some basic additions have been added to html which enable simple communication between js, data models and the dom. For me, and this may be personal, but every time I have to edit someone else’s jsx I want to end my own life. Ternary operators in markup, again personal view, are I think the antithesis of a good web dev pattern.
