Great stuff, waiting for Vue 3 release, then after a few weeks will start updating my current project.

As a former backend engineer, I'm really grateful to be working with Vue. I used Backbone, and a little React and Angular before. Vue was the simplest and the most fun so far.

Isn't this a little ironic considering the backlash against Vue 3 and the creation of Svelte?

What’s the backlash against vue 3?

No, I don’t see any irony here. Name one programming language/framework/tool that’s universally game-changing for every single developer. The reality is that technology doesn’t work that way.

The fact that detractors of Vue exist in no way means that Evan doesn’t care about users. It’s very clear that he spent years working on a problem hard enough to build a solid response to React, a project with so much more momentum and money initially.

> backlash against Vue 3

What backlash against Vue 3? I know that there were very passionate discussions about several different RFCs that eventually lead to the current Composition API. But as far as I can tell, the current Composition API is very well accepted in the community. Also, the Composition API is an addition and does not replace the API of Vue 2.

So do you refer to the controversies about older RFCs? Because I can't see any other backlash. BTW, having discussions in an RFC is a good thing as it helps getting to a better overall solution.

> creation of Svelte

How is Svelte related to Vue in general or Vue 3 specifically? Svelte 1.0 was released in 2016 and I can't really see any irony here at all.

There was a misunderstanding when documents outlining vue 3 were released. Users thought that advanced functions for component reuse were replacing easy to use existing features. Vue 3 is backwards compatible however, and it was a non-issue. The new features looked great for advanced component builders from what I remember.

Vue is the one js framework that was really a breeze to learn. In most cases, your first attempt at doing something in Vue will just work the way you intuit it to work.

Docs are fantastic as well.

Congrats to Evan You for a stellar job

The Docs take Vue to a league of its own. I'd contend that no other JS ecosystem has docs that are as lucid, concise and beginner friendly as Vue's. This intro to VueX (Vue's state management library) is a good example: https://vuex.vuejs.org/

Vue is awesome. The encapsulation that comes from single file components is something I would love to have in React.

What’s to stop you using single file components in React?

Having everything in one file was the thing I didn’t like about Vue - constantly scrolling up and down the file between the methods and the template/styling got pretty annoying quickly.

Probably the same thing that stopped you from not using SFCs in Vue: One is idiomatic, the other isn’t ;)
