> At the time we were thinking about Vue.js vs React, we were also considering rewriting our mobile app and React Native looked like a really good choice. That was a big plus for React since Vue.js didn’t have anything remotely stable that resembles what React Native is trying to do, so the possibility of reusing code between the web and app clients was a huge plus, but I decided that I wasn’t going to consider possibilities that might or might not happen. After all, from my experience, with Node.js I reuse a really insignificant amount of code between the browser and the server.

The main benefit of using React if you are considering using React Native is that you and your team won't need to learn another framework in order to build native mobile apps for iOS and Android - if they know React already, they'll be up to speed with React Native very quickly.

Alibaba's working on a Vue-based mobile alternative called Weex. It's still in its infancy, but it's worth checking out:
