Comment by Ivan Bernatović on "What is your favorite JavaScript framework?"

VueJS. Simple to use and understand. Lightweight and fast. Can be easily extended for more functionality (router, flux implementation - vuex etc.).

Love Vue.js.

Using it to built a fairly substantial web app at the moment and not only am I loving it. The backend developers I'm working with aren't threatening to kill me.

My goodness. This has a lot of votes compared to what I thought. I only heard of vue yesterday. I still havent seen a comment on any drawbacks.

@mjwrazor Some possible drawbacks:

Vue.js is fairly new. A fairly new community. Fewer resources.
There aren't as many Vue.js flavoured plugins.
Apart from the project I'm working on at the moment. I don't know of anyone else using Vue.js, and I haven't spoken to any recruiters yet that have asked for Vue.js experience. It's mostly been Angular or React experience that they're looking for.

Saying all that. If you haven't checked out Vue.js. Spend a little time and have a go. It's easy to get up and running, and it's fun to play with.

@marcin I am very intrigued to see so many people voicing positive opinions about a framework with drawbacks that are only time based. I will definitely have to make a mini project with it. Any suggestions for back end framework or languages to go with it? I mainly work with Mongodb, Express, and Nodejs.
