Hey, Why Vue doesn't use custom tags (like some other frameworks) and and prefers changing it into div or any other valid tag ? (actually I'm fan of this method) And my other q : Since I'm Ember dev too, Is there any plan to create anything like EmberData in Vue too? cause that's awesome and really helps in big projects.

Custom tag names in the templates are treated as components. If the corresponding component is not found, Vue will warn you. It would be difficult to get around this IMHO.

Thanks, but I meant why Vue does not use that custom tag name in build process, is it because of better support in old browsers? or something similar. Any thought on my second question ?

I think you are talking about implementations of the web components standard, and libraries like polymer that use it.

Currently web components are an emerging standard and we don't feel that the case is settled enough to commit to it. Also, there's still open questions about how certain features of Vue could be implemented in web components as well as we have them in Vue itself.

But with vue-custom-element, you can transform Vue components into web components, so it's possible if you really want to.
