Let me share a "contrarian" view. People think react can't be beat because they have Facebook behind them and tons of people are working on it with tons of funding. But I think that may be the reason why it may go down one day.

Facebook is not doing this for complete charity. At the moment their interest is aligned with react being open source but you never know when that will change. And when that happens, the artificial illusion of support will go away.

I'm not just pulling this out of nowhere, I actually use both react and vue, and think react ecosystem is too convoluted. It's a matter of opinion but I don't think it's just me who feels that way.

It's not just Facebook anymore as many big companies are using it everywhere - web, pwa, native apps etc. So I don't think it's going to go away anytime soon.

For example, watch this 5 min React Conf talk on how Flipkart has made React a big part of their tech stack.

That's one of the main reasons I decided to go with Vue, I don't trust Facebook. I also didn't like the fact FB could take away your right to use their framework if they didn't like what you were making with it (e.x. anything facebook sees as a threat).

I agree, this is the sole reason why I am no longer using React for anything serious. Facebook is bad news, no pun intended. Thankfully, there are other solutions that don't have any strings attached.

May I ask what alternatives you feel are usable right now?
