> React let's you focus on how the component should behave instead of doing mental gymnastics trying to manipulate the DOM

Agreed - a huge benefit of Vue is exactly that - it's declarative. You describe what you want with a (more or less) plain ol' Javascript object, instead of how you want something to work. It's almost like writing JSON - and is just as readable.

ReactJS is declarative as well.

I wasn't saying that it isn't.

JSX is not declarative

Not really sure how you can reach that conclusion. With JSX you are declaring what the HTML will look like, rather than specifying how to do the transitions. It's difficult to get more declarative than that.
