Perfectly said. I've used Vue for a couple of months now (a couple personal projects, experiments and some dashboards) and used Angular for ~2 years before (admittedly, mostly Angular 1), and have literally never had to start off from 'npm install', unlike react (which I used for a year or so before), where everything needed a lot of boilerplate setup.

Most devs I know start a react application by cloning some standard git repo which has a working webpack/tidyCSS/redux/some test suite etc. and then write your first line of useful code. The boilerplate is enormous!

Most Angular 1 projects I saw would start off with a Yeoman/Bower MEAN stack implementation. The boilerplate no less enormous there. I'll admit Vue is nicer about these things than either Angular or React, but Angular has tons of boiler plate.

I've used react without npm at all. Just download the react and reactdom scripts from its official site, put two <script> tags in your HTML and that's it.
