Disagree slightly with the point about far less documentation/community/ecosystem on Vue. The Vue documentation is stunningly amazing---probably the best out-of-the-box documentation I've ever seen for a library, and that really makes it vastly easier to learn than its competitors.

It's true that backend JS has the most modern dialect, and without any need for a transpiler. And OP did mention "modern".
- Re: React. I actually disagree with this given that OP is an experienced programmer. The react API is very, very simple to learn but difficult to master. The forced conventions are good for productivity. If you use create-react-app, I don't see any reason to put off learning it until later, but of course you should start with the JS basics before installing react. I'm not sure vue would be better; in fact it might be worse as a first experience, just because there is far less documentation / community / ecosystem around it.

Nice tip on the crossbar.io, I'm going to check that out.
