I think React is most approachable to developers with a good grasp of Javascript and the DOM, and Vue (which I admittedly have less experience with) is more approachable to designers or developers with a good grasp of other programming languages/not the DOM.
Perhaps. I do trust in the work of the the shadow dom manipulations behind the scenes, they're way smarter and way more interested in that. I work with people that make stuff in squarespace and just do html and css, and vue is a choice just in case they decide they want to come over and try some of the other apps. So approachability to me a feature, I don't want to be the only one that can make a trivial update just because someone goes in, looks at the JSX and nopes right out of there.
