Vue has electrolytes and it is gluten free. Seriously though I think Vue is the latest shiny example of everything that is wrong with the javascript community.

Javascripts huge problem is the lack of a standard library or better yet a standard way of doing anything. To fill that void alone came NPM. With a million tiny fragmented micro libraries. Then it became a common to start reinventing the wheel and selling your idea to build up your community by claiming the trivial syntax changes make it so much easier to use. I like you have no clue why people are getting so excited about rewriting their apps all the time.

I think of Vue like attempting to reinvent the calculus of react with a clever syntax and more simplified form but results in a Riemann approximation.

I think Vue is more frontend focused where react is achieving far more like react fiber. I do not doubt the power of js community to keep cloning things into forms they are more familiar with and claim a smaller payload is best metric of success.

Who would have thought so much open source collaboration would lead to so much fragmentation?

I wonder what machine learning algos will come up with when they design their own programming language, because I think programming languages are being held back by discussing what syntax makes me feel good to type out.

The problem is that people assume that old = bad. As soon as one technology is starting to have a nice big community and enough ressources to be usable, the hype for something new destroys it.

People could use Angular 2 Years ago just fine, what on earth happened that it suddenly became so terrible?

Also those are just frontend frameworks! Why is everyone glorifying those??? Is Backend an after thought nowadays? "We got nodeJS... The frontend guy know JS. He will code something, don't worry."
