I understand that the front end should be backend agnostic, meaning a REST API is a REST API.
Speaking to a number of developers for an upcoming project I am continually hearing that if we opt for Vue on the front end then we should use Laravel on the backend however if we use React then Express (Node) will work well.
Why would Vue.js care or even know what the back end was?
My preference is Vue + Express, as I am familiar with Node.js
