I like it. In fact I like it more than React, which I am not using (still a happy Backbone user). A thought that I share, from the guide: "API-wise, one issue with React (or JSX) is that the render function often involves a lot of logic, and ends up looking more like a piece of program (which in fact it is) rather than a visual representation of the interface. For some developers this is a bonus, but for designer/dev…

Massive render() sounds like those massive viewControllers from Cocoa. With experience it slowly goes away. But yeah it can be daunting to look at sample codes and see 300 lines of render(). It helps if it's broken down in named function calls, but still makes you jump around.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

> More importantly, there’s no need to worry about calling $apply in a timeout, or calling setState(), or listening to store events Calling `setState` is not a big deal and neither is dealing with stores. It's very simple and you keep your state separate from your HTML. At this point I probably can't do web development without JSX and not be miserable. The days of separate templates are hopefully forever behind me. N…

I disagree, I've never used jsx and I can still build web apps. There are plenty of templating languages to choose from, my choice is Jade. I actually have never touched React because I've never had so much DOM manipulation to make use of it. If anything I can smoothly update my DOM with marionette/backbone and a little css animation.

What are you disagreeing with exactly? They're not saying you can't build web apps without React and if you haven't even used React I don't see how you can make any judgement on that part.

I'd love to see a comparison of Vue.js with Aurelia ( http://aurelia.io/ ). In my mind, Vue.js and Aurelia are the two front-runners for the next "right-weight" framework (whereas React is the lightweight champion, and Angular 2 likely to be the heavyweight winner by default).

I agree with you about React being the lightweight (perhaps even overall) champion - although there's undoubtedly some confirmation bias going on on my behalf (e.g. most of the JS people I follow on Twitter are React fans, so I mostly read about React).

I think the combination of simple API, good performance, big company backing (proven at scale), rich dev ecosystem (e.g. good dev tools, related ideas such as Flux/Redux) and, of course, React Native is going to be hard to beat. As a freelance developer, it's the front end framework I've chosen to go "all in" with for this round - but still it's great to see all the innovation going on in this space (once you get over the fear that your skills will be outdated in six months time that is!)

Not commenting here often but I'm a big fan of VueJS! Really hope this will give it more traction now. It has such a small learning curve with then more and more powerful features (self contained components FTW!). Evan is fantastic and bugs are fixed within hours.

Been using Vue for over a year and it replaced an ambitious Angular project for internal operations management which was getting out of control. Migrating to and using VueJS was like a breath of fresh air.

For me it's the best compromise between React and full frameworks like Angular/Ember. Can't believe this isn't backed by a megacorp yet and just a personal project. Congrats, Evan, and thank you!

React 0.14 is 132KB minified [1].

I wouldn't exactly consider React "lightweight," especially compared to other frameworks like Mercury [2], Mithril [3], and Riot [4], which are a fraction of the size of React but still have their own virtual DOM implementations.

Vue is a breath of fresh air. Easy to understand and get running with, while having some really sweet features (and supporting libraries) if you wish to dig deeper.

Another thing I take into consideration: Aesthetics and the give a shit factor. The website and syntax (imo) are beautiful and succinct, and Evan's work ethic and responsiveness is incredible.

BTW, Vue 1.0.0 is 74KB minified while React 0.14 is 132KB minified.

I normally hate +1s, but same here! We ran a VueJS workshop last year for budding web developers, since it is infinitely more easier to teach basic concepts like data binding, templating, filters, scopes, etc. with VueJS than Angular.

I haven't used a ton of javascript frameworks, but here are noteable things from my point of view (my own tl;dr): * Doesn't support IE8 and below because it probably uses ES5.1 getters and setters - no more manually watching an object * Supports component based programming - css/js/html in one file. But it supports any preprocessor, so it could be sass, coffeescript and jade * The components are easily composable * E…

VueJS is great. I am impressed with the amount of work that Evan put into this release in the last couple of weeks. One RC after another. Thanks Evan.
