Do we still need Webpack when all connections can use HTTP/2 and TLS thanks to LetsEncrypt ?

You need webpack to actually use a Vue component (template + script + CSS).

Damn, I see that as unnecessary tight coupling, but a lot of our current technologies have survived that way.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

We use Vue at GitLab. You can see why we chose Vue as written by our front-end lead. https://about.gitlab.com/2016/10/20/why-we-chose-vue/

Is there any plan to do a follow up post to this? I'd love to see what work flows or examples you guys are using to progressively upgrade pieces of the application to use Vue. For example, it would be really great to see a blog post with a before and after for a feature that you've converted from jQuery to Vue.

This was the followup post our front-end lead wrote:

I don't think it's exactly what you were asking for, but I'll pass this suggestion along to our front-end lead that wrote these two posts.

I thought the vue-cli(https://github.com/vuejs/vue-cli) tool did a pretty good job of creating sane webpack configurations by asking just a few basic questions.
