I've been using Vue.js on large scale projects for a while, but for a greenfield project I'm choosing React instead. React has better support for SSR which is still really important for public facing websites, JSX feels much more natural to me than the v-* directives, not to mention React's incredibly large ecosystem. That being said, I really like the way Vue handles CSS in single file components, and the simplicity of Vuex compared to Redux. I'm still struggling to find a styling solution for React that I'm completely happy with. As with everything, it's about choosing the right tool for the job.

> React has better support for SSR…

Mind elaborating on this? I'm about to start a project that will use SSR, and I'm really interested where Vue (which would otherwise be my preference) might limit me.

https://ssr.vuejs.org/en/

https://nuxtjs.org/ is a front end framework with first class support for SSR for VueJS that is almost about to release their 1.0. SSR compatibility was one of the major pillars of VueJS's 2.0 release.
