Previous big discussion: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22625556 (March 2020)
Thanks for the link. A lot of people went out of their way to criticise Vue which makes me wonder how the general opinion of Vue has changed in the last year.
For almost every topic on HN, a lot of people will go out of their way to criticize it.
Most of the discussion behind this decision, including feedback directly from Evan You (author of Vue), is here: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T241180 It's pretty interesting to read through.
This discussion is from early 2020 and the decision seems to have been mostly made by then, but they’re announcing it now. I guess everyone’s been busy, what with a pandemic and all. :)
But this announcement makes things more official.
Been following Vue and Evan’s work since 2015, before it even reached 1.0. I think it strikes a good balance between the freedom of React and the rigidity if Angular. (Interpret the terms “freedom” and “rigidity” as you please.)
My only problem with Vue 2.x was the bad TS support, but I trust 3.x solves that.
Can I see the code for the TypeaheadSearch component somewhere? (I followed some links but didn't find it)
Some of this code may change or get moved around based on the outcome of these tasks: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T286946
A solid choice and well reasoned. It was a joy to read all of the discussions. Been following Vue and Evan’s work since 2015, before it even reached 1.0.

I stopped using React specifically because it was so incredibly limiting. And my life has been a lot better without it.

"The freedom of React" is a hard statement for me to digest. I stopped using React specifically because it was so incredibly limiting. And my life has been a lot better without it.
Rather have Facebook as a single point of failure than some random dude who has other things that consume his interest.

In my experience, React is very particular at how you present your view logic. For state management, though, it has very few opinions and that freedom can be paralyzing. Do you use Redux? Do you just use built-in component state and props? Do you use the Hooks API? React solves one slice of problems in front-end development, but has few opinions outside of the view layer.
I was the "go to" guy for when React didn't want to do something.
Most of my wrestling came in the form of:
- recycling html-elements
- "tweening" state. a friggin nightmare to have inbetween states
- performant animation stuff
- stateless node-to-node communication for stuff that would have not fit well in state
- keyboard navigation (think game ui)
Ugh. The more I learned about how it actually works, the more I came to hate it. And it kills me to see so many people who love it... like I'm an alien amongst the people (developers) who I once felt understood me.
Good luck getting any libraries working. Good luck using graphql. Good luck getting the tooling stable. Good luck getting a PR on the main code base done. Vue in production is a minefield of nightmares. Rather have Facebook as a single point of failure than some random dude who has other things that consume his interest.
