I think it's important for any comment or post touting the superiority of Vue to also provide insight into the author's experience with and feeings about React. You very rarely hear from devs who were loving React, tried Vue anyway, and came away believers. This leads me to wonder whether it's not so much that Vue is "better," it's more that it operates in paradigms that are intuitive to some individuals and teams in ways that React might not be. I don't see that as a hit against it or anyone but as a very satisfied React, it does make me take every glowing Vue writeup with a grain of salt.

They are pretty similar, though one thing this article lightly touches on is the standalone .vue file, which works absolutely beautifully. JSX feels like a hack to me, and the ability to write HTML, JS, and CSS as such in a single file greatly simplifies everything. You can even use different flavors of each (ES6, Sass, etc) no problem. I would be shocked if this feature doesn't find it's way into react, angular, and others.
