My newsletter app's frontend is entirely in Vue 2. It's been very pleasant to work in, coming from both a React and Angular background, though there are definitely some things of React I miss.

(I feel like the only important question is "if I were to go back in time and restart the project, would I still use Vue?" — to which the answer is an emphatic yes.)

Which parts of react do you miss?

At an accessory level, tooling and ecosystem richness — which I don't really hold against Vue, because it'll definitely get there in time.

At a slightly more existential level, I miss how lightweight React components are: they're literally just functions, which makes breaking them out really frictionless. If I've got a FooWidget and I want to break out the header of the widget out into a new component, it's incredibly trivial to do — as opposed to Vue, which forces you to create a new file for it, register that component in the namespace, etc.

(I wrote about this a little more in depth here: http://jmduke.com/posts/what-vue-needs-next/)
