The star count that should matter for me would be as follows:

1. The happiness and productivity level I have when perusing one over the other.

2. The actual application being shipped and the level of happiness and satisfaction that I get from the customers.

3. The number of features I can quickly ship on top of the application.

4. The ease of maintainability / support for the application. Easier to maintain = more stars in my world.

The feature set that both frameworks offer are pretty much on par, although I would say (IMHO) that Vue is far easier to understand and seems to be less complex, over all the other frameworks I have used (React, Angular, Ember, Knockout).
