#2I purchased a template site from themeforest and modified it. But I'm thinking of rebuilding it with vue.js, because the purchased template is too bulky.

Just curious, bulky in what sense? Look & feel (i.e. busy looking) or size?
I am not sure size should be the primary parameter for a SaaS app as long as the app performance is not degrading during prolong usage. Having a clean UX should far outweigh the size of an app.

#4I bought a lot of admin themes from Themeforest, but all of them feel bloated. So I build my own using Framework7.io, because my (web) app projects should be mobile first, too.
They provide a VUE.js template, too. Maybe it'll fit your needs.

I chose quite a few CSS frameworks on there and make an effort to never re-use the same one ever for all of my projects. So every project I create will have a different look.

I was talking about performance. it loads too many scripts that I don't need and also css files.
It tries to be generic for all use cases, but I only need some of its features.

Most of the stuff on TF are competing on stupid features. You end up with a template loading 150 jQuery plugins and 50 web fonts, because why not.
