Vue.js is like perl. Too many ways to do a single thing
Out of curiousity, examples?
They bait newbies with their easy data-binding and switch them to components later.

What is complex about the site?
Managing the state and rendering of all the text items as the user manipulates them (this is on the desktop "type tester" homepage, not mobile) - essentially trying to build a "desktop-class" (to some degree!) experience à la Adobe Illustrator. The rest of the site is pretty basic granted. Maybe it's not a great example, but it's the sort of thing that could have easily become unmaintainable in the old days as featur…
There's a plugin for Vue named Vuex which serves as a single state store just like Redux. It's simple to use and makes things a lot more manageable.

#43Angular - has appeal for "corporate apps," well, because of Angular 1.*
React - has influence wherever Facebook has influence
Vue - took off in China as FB did not bother to proselytize developers there
Re: Vue.js vs. React
#44Vue is good for simple things. But it do not shines for complex apps and sometime makes it even harder than it should be. React can appears complicated when beginning, but it pays off on complex apps.
People keep on saying this, but I've written complex apps with both Vue and React (using state stores) and there don't to be any apparent scaling differences. They even use the same component model (virtual DOM, props down, events up). There are some claims that Vue uses two-way-binding which is unmaintainable, but v-model isn't true two way binding and is just syntax sugar for builtin tags: https://v1.vuejs.org/guid…
Sounds like I'll have to try it out! Definitely don't want to put all my eggs in the React basket with all the patent stuff right now so would like some experience of the alternatives.

#45It surprises me how this "vue vs react" gets to the first line for the 10th time in one or another form
It's because of the recent decision by Apache Software Foundation to prohibit using Facebook's "BSD+patent" license in their projects. Many people are now on the hunt for alternatives because of the licensing issue.

#46You'll see quotes in this thread like "The demand for both React and Vue.js is growing tremendously" thrown around. It's good to check out npm install stats to get an unopinionated comparison.

In reality, React is downloaded roughly 4-5x more than angular and 7-8x more than Vue. In August so far, React has 75% market share among these three libs. Interestingly, this share has grown in August compared to both last month (July) and beginning of year (January).
While this thread and the license thread might indicate that React is dying, it's not. It's growing.
If Vue is going to be what React is today, it has quite a long way to go.

#47How are people getting along with Vuex vs Redux? It looks pretty clean and grokable in the examples and deals with async out of the gate - https://github.com/vuejs/vuex/tree/dev/examples/counter
If you use something like Kea ( https://kea.js.org ), the amount of boilerplate for Redux goes down dramatically. The syntax is actually pretty simiar to Vuex, perhaps with even less boilerplate.
Do you happen to know whether there's an equivalent for NgRx?
Re: Vue.js vs. React
#48I used React for a few years and it was great and powerful, there were many things however that I disliked.. Particularly I was not a fan of JSX. I liked React but I did not feel comfortable using it. When I first saw VueJS I had a hard time understanding how it would be any better than React, that is until I saw single file components. https://vuejs.org/images/vue-component.png I fell in love with the eloquence of b…
Completely agree! Single-file components are more natural to how I think about the web.
It's worth noting that Vue also supports render functions with JSX (https://vuejs.org/v2/guide/render-function.html).

#49Earlier quoted context omitted.
This is the impression I get, but I've not got any Vue experience to back it up so it's literally just based on first impressions. I completely agree that React can feel like overkill for simple stuff, but really shines as the apps get more complex - complexity feels a lot more manageable. For example, I built this in-browser Illustrator-inspired site/app using React and couldn't have imagined doing it without (in te…
What is complex about the site?
I didn't think it was complex until I clicked on Jagger on the first page. It gave no indication of being editable, or I just missed the clues.
Once you do click it, I'd say the complexity of the site becomes more clear.
Or maybe my reference point for "complexity" is just low.
Regardless, very cool site. Nice work!

#50Go for Ember: - Proven tech - No licensing issues - Solid community - Community driven, no company calling the shots
I was a huge Ember evangelist until I started trying to onboard other devs into my project. It took months for people to figure out which way was up. In comparison, other devs picked up Vue in a week or so.
Exact same problem here. I've written ~20k LOC non trivial web app in Ember and getting someone into the project that didn't had prior experience in Ember was really tough. Then we were thinking about Vue too and like in your example, that person picked up Vue in around a week also.
