Needs advice
on
Next.jsNext.js
and
Nuxt.jsNuxt.js

SaaS project and need to decide on a front-end framework. Will use Node.js for restful API services, and PostgreSQL for the database. Possibly introduce Prisma/Apollo if required. Infrastructure is likely to be AWS. This is a business to business SaaS project, not the consumer. 1-2K potential org subscribers, where the orgs are small businesses with 1-15 employees. The product would be used daily, mostly serving the North American market. I'm struggling with what front-end framework. I lean towards Vue.js/ Nuxt.js as it's what I have the most experience with, it's an easier learning curve for new inexperienced developers, and it had great growth in recent years. However, React/Next.js are established frameworks, with a larger community but a steeper learning curve (if I can't get intermediate to senior react developers) and I haven't worked with it. I'm looking for not answers, but advice from the community regarding what other factors I should be considering when deciding. This is a new project (not a re-write of an existing one). Appreciate everyone's feedback.
