Congratulations to the Vue team, this is definitely a big win for them.

Reading through the RFC is really interesting. They specifically call out the dependency on Facebook as effectively being React's Single Point of Failure, citing their negative experiences with HHVM.

And for all of the love that people give React's big shifts (like hooks), the RFC specifically counts this against them, given that best practices have shifted so drastically in the last few years.

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. :)

I agree with that. Its been like a twilight zone interviewing for anything frontend in Silicon Valley the last couple years as they "me too" for React, while I use Vue on my own projects.

Now, the original reason I chose Vue was mostly around a small client side package size, but all the SPA frameworks have some version that prides itself in small client side package side now, and they mostly reach parity on similar concepts.

For anyone alarmed about moving towards a SPA, and potential performance impacts etc, read the comments towards the top of this link from the Vue Team Lead and proposal co-author. They address the most obvious concerns.

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.
