Yes I fully understand this. Also with vue2 you often get problems with the internal version of "array" that is wrapper around a normal array to detect changes.
How so?
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
And if you want a component UI framework (not everyone does!) then checkout out Quasar [1]. It's amazing... fantastic docs, really well thought out defaults and customization, easy to theme, lots of Tailwind-style helper classes, just overall fantastic. [1] https://quasar.dev

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/
Are you guys all using ad blockers? I open Vue docs — and the right-hand column of the screen is a wall of ads. For comparison, I open React docs — and there are only docs there (unless you count the obligatory BLM header). With a larger font, too, because there, docs don't need to compete for page space with the ads.

I used to prefer (and by a lot) Vue more than React because of its simplicity and completeness (router + store + everything you need). After trying to use v3 for a new project and trying out the composition API, I've gone back to React. With v3, and the composition API, to me, it lost all of its appeal (being simple, easy and complete). Now to me it has the worst of both worlds... it's not as easy anymore, has a lot…
The same thing happened to Meteor.js, another project with which Evan was involved. Meteor started out with an ethos of simplicity and friendly developer experience. It lost it's ethos and was picked apart in the name of "scalability". This has left people in a lurch who were drawn into Meteor for it's simplicity and now have projects to maintain in a largely abandoned framework. I've primarily moved over to Django w…
Nice. We need more of this.

Having tried both Quasar and Vuetify. I found Vuetify ( https://vuetifyjs.com/ ) way better.

Isn't running a project more about the outcome than putting in as much time as possible? Also taking long breaks could potentially mean being AFK but still obsessing about next steps in the project. Maybe you're imagining him being on a tropical island drinking mochito's during the long breaks?
> Isn't running a project more about the outcome than putting in as much time as possible? As far as I understand, he's not really running a company though. It's mostly a solo endeavor. So it seems like in this case time put in ~ outcome.
The team is more than just Evan.
>Another important thing is that I take long breaks (several weeks) whenever I feel I need to — which is probably harder to do if I’m a full time employee at a company. A "Patreon-funded full-time job position" and the ability to take weeks off at a time? What an amazing career path Evan has taken. He sounds so passionate about Vue and he is fully funded to be able to do it. And what a good project to fund, always mo…
It sounds lucrative and leisurely, sure, but it's not a career path I'd personally be interested in, because (caveat: I don't know the guy, I'm not involved in Vue, etc; generalizations ahead) he's very much a community manager, possibly moreso than a developer. He's got huge responsibilities and accountability, whereas I prefer to be (proverbially) holed up in a basement with my work laid out for me. I mean I basica…
Even my HN account is anonymous.
(That I think is holding me back too.)
I cannot imagine myself working like Evan.

> server rendered content and sprinkles of JavaScript where needed. Nice. We need more of this.
