Are there still people who prefer Vue 2 when working on projects with Vue? Given the innovations and advantages of Vue 3, has everyone migrated by now? I like the Composition API, but I still have to use the Options API in some projects. Which one do you prefer, and why?
Which one do you prefer, Vue 2 or Vue 3?

I'm using Vue 3, bro, and its advantages over Vue 2 are crystal clear. The Composition API makes working with complex components a lot easier; there's a huge difference in code organization and readability. For example, you can optimize the reactivity system for each component—it's similar to React's useEffect but more structured.
Of course, in some projects you have to stick with Vue 2 because of legacy systems; honestly, not everyone is jumping on migration. But there’s no reason not to switch to Vue 3 for new projects, because the Composition API drastically reduces code duplication and type safety is way stronger with TypeScript. As someone who never liked the Options API, once I saw the benefits of the Composition API, going back to Vue 2 just doesn’t make sense.
