I am front end developer with 2 years experience in vanilla JavaScript and jQuery. Now want to learn modern framework. Should I go with React or Vue.js? I see more job postings for React but Vue seems easier to learn. What do you guys recommend?

React has bigger job market thats true. But learning curve is steeper compared to Vue. If you already know JavaScript well then React wont be too difficult. Main concepts are components, props, state management with hooks. Once you learn React, picking up Vue or other frameworks becomes easy. So I say go with React, it will give you more opportunities.

I have worked with both. React ecosystem is bigger - more libraries, more community support, more resources. But React has become quite complex with hooks, context API, state management libraries like Redux. Vue 3 with composition API is also powerful now and cleaner in my opinion. If you want quick learning and productivity go Vue, if you want better job market go React.

Why not learn both? Start with Vue because its easier, build 2-3 projects to understand component based architecture. Then move to React. The concepts are similar - components, props, state, lifecycle. Once you understand one framework deeply, learning others is just syntax difference. I switch between React, Vue and Svelte depending on project requirements.
