A couple of months ago, I chose Vue to be my point of entry to the frameworks realm in web development. I also decided to go in depth-first. So, I practiced barebones Vue, then used Vuetify, then - after getting sick of all the props and emits - I learned Vuex, and now I am playing around with Nuxt. In all this, I have not even glanced at the documentation of React.

What I know about React, I know from occasional blog posts. A common claim I came upon was that Vue is simpler to learn than React. And that does not seem to come with a penalty in terms of performance or robustness. As I understand, from reading and not from experience, both frameworks are equally useful for projects of different scales.

At least from my experience, as I work on my first meaningful web project, I find myself constantly impressed by how simple the development process is. Especially, when component libraries like Vuetify are utilized.

Assuming my understanding is correct (and feel free to enlighten me if it isn't) I have two questions:

1. With Vue.js readily available, is there any reason to learn React—other than the fact that React came first and therefore has the bigger market share?
2. If no such reason exists, do you expect Vue to take over in the future? In other words, any reason for a startup project today not to be developed in Vue instead of React?
