Normally I would agree, but GUI development with Vue is such a lovely experience. It takes advantage of many of the newer JS features to make this possible (automatic data binding via property get/set interception, for example). As a consequence it's hard to imagine providing the same in another, better language.

.NET has been doing it since 2008.

Is this something that's had good crossplatform support since 2008 or more recently?

No, it is something that has been doing "automatic data binding via property get/set interception, for example" since 2008, so it is easy to see it in an language that isn't JavaScript.

Additionally, Xamarin is older than VueJS.

Yeah, I've worked with XAML and such in .NET-land. DependencyProperties are nowhere near as painless and transparent as the state of things in Vue. Doing computed propeties, trying to use converters in a sane way, setting up templates for repeated items - all quite clunky and arcane. This falls out of doing interception at the library level rather than the language level, I think.

It would be a bigger deal if it was not windows only.

Xamarin never was Windows only.

And Mono was a thing before .NET Core came into the scene.
