Do you think that your preference is just from your previous experience? JSX feels like uninhibited templating to me, which is great when it is done right (and a little crazy when done poorly). I also feel like it gives cleaner error messages.

Vue (+ ESLint) give pretty clear errors when you've messed up that make it quick to fix.

But yea, I mean I think it's subjective for most people. I'm not sure there's any real reason to go one or the other outside of developer happiness (could be wrong, though). A big part of Vue is to have a low learning curve and be less opinionated. So it feels more like enhancing your workflow (either in existing apps or new ones) than adopting a whole new way of doing things. I'm just personally more into that.

Also, for what it's worth, you can use JSX with Vue. The only downside I can think of is any time you have a problem it might be hard to find solutions since most people stick to directives. If you already know JSX, though, that might not be an issue.
