Our company was React (after that fiasco died down with React changing the patent/sue clause).

About 2 years ago our new tech lead decided that we would use Vue instead. Ever since that decision I found myself walking more and more into backend development. I just felt like all the Vue code we wrote felt like I was writing 2011 AngularJS code. Not sure what people find so compelling about it.

A month ago our tech lead decided we're going back to React for everything using Next. Everyone loves it. Everything is type safe and every variable has full type hints. Props are type hinted. It's great.




I wonder what the reason was to move to Vue in the first place.

We had similar discussions in a company I worked for, but most of the senior devs decided that trying to align frameworks for the sake of everyone working in the same one didn't make sense. Given our size, there were more than enough teams working in React/Vue to keep people happy, but moving everything to one or the other felt like a colossal waste of time rewriting existing applications versus executing against our business goals.

This reads the same, you went from React -> Vue -> React in the span of 2 years? Sounds like a colossal waste of the company's resources.


It's more of a slow transition. New projects are in React now. Old ones will slowly be usurped into React over a few years.


Why did your tech lead want to switch to Vue?


Has your TL used svelte yet? :angel:
