This is awful news unless hopefully this REALLY doesn't influcence the development into a more react-y way away from Vue.
NuxtLabs is joining Vercel

Re: NuxtLabs is joining Vercel
#12Honestly, this is terrible news. A number of the core team of Nuxt.js are joining Vercel and NuxtLabs itself is acquired by Vercel. I choose Nuxt.js and Nuxt UI Pro specifically because they aren't Vercel products. I built two SAAS MVPs over the last year based on this, now I'll have to wait and see what Vercel (their competitor) wants to do with it.
You've expressed my thoughts to a tee. I will start exploring Astro and see what the migration process is like. Many devs questioned my usage of Nuxt over Astro to begin with, so this is a good opportunity to learn.
Re: NuxtLabs is joining Vercel
#13Nuxt has always been a strange tool that doesn’t really fit well into any good use case, unless your only experience is Vue and Nuxt. Hard to see the real reason for Vercel to do this. The pessimist in me wonders if perhaps they are hoping to influence how Vue is developed in the same way they now influence how React is developed after hiring several React team members. But even that doesn’t seem that likely consider…

Next supremacy is very obvious
Kills all those Linkedin threads about moving away from Next. Kills the indecision for what employment-seeking devs need to optimize for. Makes those job descriptions less all over the place and even more Next focused

Astro is nice, but its a different model than Nuxt, more suited to static sites.

Vercel isn't a competitor to Nuxt. Vercel benefits from allowing any frontend framework to be deployed on their service. All you have to look at is Svelte, which Vercel hired all the developer of, and that turned out to be a great thing. Svelte and SvelteKit are better than ever and nothing they have done since has shown to be forced by Vercel.
Vercel benefits from moving as much of the logic to the server (their paid services) as possible.

I'm just reading the docs and it seems more capable than that: https://docs.astro.build/en/concepts/islands/#server-islands
I have also just discovered a dedicated section for the migration from Nuxt to Astro:
>Key Similarities between Nuxt and Astro
Nuxt and Astro share some similarities that will help you migrate your project:
- Astro projects can also be SSG or SSR with page level prerendering.
- Astro uses file-based routing, and allows specially named pages to create dynamic routes.
- Astro is component-based, and your markup structure will be similar before and after your migration.
- Astro has an official integration for using Vue components.
- Astro has support for installing NPM packages, including Vue libraries. You may be able to keep some or all of your existing Vue components and dependencies.

Re: NuxtLabs is joining Vercel
#18Pretty incredible that now Next.js, Svelte/kit and Nuxt will be under Vercel.
This could be a great thing as now all of these devs are much better supported in their work, but I’d be lying if I didn’t say that this situation makes me quite nervous.
Re: NuxtLabs is joining Vercel
#19Ugh. Can they not? Who do I talk about them not?
NuxtLabs was doing great work building out support for Cloudflare, making it a viable alternative to Vercel.
Now, I'm sure all that work will get dropped and we'll be stuck with only Vercel being a first-class host for Nuxt-based applications.

What?
Nuxt is the only "out-of-box-everything-works" framework for Vue.
So yes, if you use Vue, you use Nuxt.
