#2Maybe star power is more of a sign of acceleration than usage. For example, if I have several projects in react, and then I start to move into Vue, it is not like I am going to convert my past projects over to Vue as well. I'll only be starting my future projects in Vue.
So that means more and more developers are beginning to get interested into Vue.

#3One observation worth remembering: Enterprise usage would most likely be hosted locally / downloaded once per version and used by N internal projects.

#4I agree that number of use is a good factor when choosing a framework. But Vue has incredible tools, resources and community so don't let that get in your way. I've tried all three and Vue is just such a pleasure to use.

#5OK. I will still continue to eschew Angular and React in favor of Vue. It works with my brain best.

#6People have wildly different views on what Github stars are. Some see it as a way to bookmark project you find interesting while other simply stars whenever they feel like the project is impressive.
Bottomline is: it's not a good metric, it's simply a way to see how "popular" something is and how likely it is that some random developer saw your project.
While anecdotal, I've starred Vue because I see it as a cool project and I've starred React as another cool project. In both case, I did toy projects with the frameworks and never used it in production. On the other hand, apache/httpd I did a lot of projects with and I did not give it a star yet.
In my opinion stars are not endorsement, they're a questionable way to measure how likely it is that your coworker have heard of a given project.

Artifactory is a pain in the butt, but it’s atill a lot better than sharing a gigabit line with twenty other developers, the IT dept and those assholes in management who watch the ball gane on their work computer.

#8React ecosystem heavily encourages the use of build tools dependent on NPM package management.
Vue users are more likely to bypass NPM. They are often on-boarded with the gentler approach most familiar to those who "sprinkle in some jQuery" - Drop in a tag and you are ready to rock. This approach is more likely to use a local file or from CDN.

#9I star plenty of things that might be crap, but have something interesting about them. Not saying that applies here, but some of my favorite libraries aren’t starred because I use them so much and have the page memorized. Stars are a terrible metric. For example, I don’t have Rails starred.

#10Considering FuckItJS has 2.9k stars, I would hope that stars !== usage. :)
