Eloquently put.

Vue allows you to use Pug syntax in your templates, so this can be even simpler:

  button(:disabled='isButtonDisabled') Button
  div(:id='`list-${id}`")
  form(@submit.prevent='onSubmit')
  a(@click='doSomething')

This guide gives an excellent comparison of Vue to other frameworks: https://vuejs.org/v2/guide/comparison.html

I would add the following points from my experience with Vue:

Vue is incredibly easy to learn. The usual claim with React is "productive in under a week", while I find that with Vue, most JS engineers can be productive in a few hours. Especially for engineers coming from a background in Angular, Mustache, Handlebars, etc. the templating in Vue is very easy to understand.

The documentation for Vue is excellent, some of the best documentation I have ever worked with: https://vuejs.org/v2/guide/

It has the advantage that it's not beholden to the whims of a large company like React is with Facebook or like Angular is with Google, given that its development is funded by a Patreon campaign: https://www.patreon.com/evanyou

Additionally, Vue is not encumbered by the patent questions around React: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11270213

I don't anticipate Vue crumbling under its own weight. Vue is developed by Evan You, who has already shown his ability to learn from Vue 1 and iterate on that with a lean and organized Vue 2. My main criticism of Vue would be that its ecosystem is not as strong as React's at this point, as you have pointed out.

The purpose of this is not to demonstrate a new design for the site, the purpose is to demo a well written server side rendered + client side hydrated Vue app, and especially how fast it loads: https://twitter.com/youyuxi/status/860856697799098368

imho, try Vue
