Nice, I love Vue.js it is light weight yet fulfill 90% of the needs of a large SPA without a third party language, some bureaucratic dependency injection and without getting in the developer's way by mandating this or that build tool. But competition is good so I'm glad there is a front end framework for everyone out there.

The sentiment 'competition is good' in the context of Javascript universe is a bit ironic since that's what led us to the recent fatigue grievance.
People have different requirements, there is not a single framework that would make everybody happy. The issue isn't the the number of frameworks by the way but the complexity of the build tools in the context of Nodejs. Grunt,Gulp,Babel transpilers and co, they are not frameworks, they merely transform assets, yet they make JS development extremely complex and bureaucratic.
