My short answer

Pick React if you need the ecosystem (jobs, libraries, RSC, React Native path). Pick Vue if your team values approachability and you ship mostly Nuxt marketing + dashboard apps with a smaller crew.

Technically both are excellent in 2026. React Server Components win for data-heavy dashboards; Vue's SFC + Pinia win for speed of onboarding juniors.
