> Vue 3 with the composition API looks fantastic on paper. (I haven’t used it in any meaningful way)

Recently worked on migrating a large codebase over from a legacy solution to Vue 3 with composition API, it was a pretty enjoyable experience, especially with Pinia!

Though I'd say that the problem was that most component libraries/frameworks out there actually don't support Vue 3 well enough. Last I checked, only the following were viable with Vue 3:

  - Ant Design
  - Element Plus
  - PrimeVue (went with this, also has icons and a layout solution; also alternatives available for React and Angular)
Most of the other ones considered weren't quite there yet:

  - Vuetify
  - Quasar
  - BootstrapVue
  - Vue Material
  - Buefy
  - View UI
  - Vuikit
  - Chakra UI
I mean, is it really so hard to get a bunch of pre-built components for Vue 3 with Bootstrap, or Bulma? It feels a bit like the Python 2 to Python 3 migration in some respects.

From what I recall, quasar managed to update very quickly.

Vuetify is currently in Beta for Vue 3 as they went with a greenfield rewrite to deal with tech debt. I rolled it out to a production site recently and it works well.

BootstrapVue completely dropped the ball, despite the corporate sponsorships the original maintainers went missing for a whole year & bailed. It got new maintainers at the start of the year, but they've been delayed by current geopolitical events.

This is true, at least there now is Vue 3 support, just checked: https://quasar.dev/

Though I can't edit the original post anymore. Oh well, thanks for clearing that up.
