When I first started looking at Vue last year this was my initial thought too. Overall, I think Vue has more to offer, has a cleaner syntax, and is more enjoyable. Some specific things I like:
- With Vue, you don't have to specify which pieces of your data are 'observable'. The entire data object for each component is reactive.
- Vue's getters/setters mean you can interact with your data really easily, no need to invoke properties as methods
- Directives are more readable. Knockout makes you cram everything into the `data-bind` attribute, whereas Vue splits these out into individual attributes( @click, :class, v-if, etc)
