I think there's merit on staying small-ish. Not every framework has to be a giant that dominates the industry.

Having a small community means the potential for focus and strong canonical learning resources, as opposed to the mess of poorly written React and Angular posts/"guides" we get every week. The community feels tighter and it may be easier for the maintainer(s) to manage it and the codebase.

Ember is a good example. Ember's community isn't small (sold out conferences every year), but it's not in the spotlight like React or Angular are. That doesn't mean the framework is doing poorly. If anything, their community and meetups are "better" than React's (for my definitions of a good community/meetup).

Having used all three, it feels like Vue.js will grow to occupy the role that React occupies today. That, or React will (smartly) take on some of Vue's core features like single component files with actual HTML, CSS, and JavaScript in them. Vue is far easier to start with yet feels more powerful too. Angular 2+ is a separate animal for larger teams, so will probably remain for that use case.

The only advantage React has is a huge backer..Facebook.

So large companies are more open to using it because it's less risk and has higher chance of being around in 5 years than a framework without a huge backer.

That's my theory on how 'biz' people make I.T. decisions.

After being burned really badly by Ember and Meteor, I'm probably never going to use tools that are all-in-ones ever again.

With React I get something laser-focused, just does 1 thing well and that's it. With Vue, I have to buy into the entire ecosystem.

I don't want to experience what I did with ember and meteor ever again in my professional life. I think about all the great developers I've worked with and I looked up to, and almost all of them hated all-in-ones. I rolled my eyes when I was younger, but today it's like damn these guys had a point!

I agree with the general notion, but I fail to see how one would consider Vue an all-in-one, its feature scope and actual size in KB are much closer to small, view focused frameworks such as React.

Maybe polymer and web components are the way to go, at least that is what I'm trying to use these days.
