Vue feels very light, and you can use as much or as little as you need. With Angular 2 you really need to dive in, understanding modules, DI, Typescript, components, the various decorators properties, observables, etc. I like Angular 2 personally, but it really is quite heavy.
Can you elaborate? I've used Angular 1 a lot, Angular 2 a little and Vue not at all. What makes Vue better?
