Yeah, it's a good point, and I'll continue to do that on my stable projects. But for a new project I'd like to try Vue, because I don't like the direction React is moving. In five years the "React I like" might not be available or widely practiced.
You're right that Vue will be a novelty - that's what I'm saying: React has jumped the shark to the point that it's now worth trying something for its novelty, because it just might be better.
