This is just anecdotal, but I've never used Angular. I tried using React a few times but kept stopping since I didn't have enough time to get all the toolchain pieces installed and working together. Then I started hearing about vue so I tried learning it by dropping the vue.js file into the html page and it just worked.

You mean "babel --presets react src > out.js"?
The problem here is people keep comparing the React ecosystem to the Vue library.

That is not a realistic workflow anyone would ever use.
We're sitting on several hundreds (yes, hundreds) "real world" apps and you can bet your butt that some of them do just that.
The more advanced ones use the whole tool chain. Simple ones are just a silly 1 liner script like that. Some don't use JSX at all and just straight up stick React on a page. It all works just peachy.
