Nope. React has 10 people in its core team, highly compensated to work on React. There is at least one genius among those 10. Think of Fiber and how it works. VueJS may copy that model but in this sense, as in the case with JSX, they're a follower. They are not a thought leader. Just a sink/collector for React haters.

Maybe you should share your opinion with Even You at the next conference you go to and see how he takes it. Writing Vue off like this is an insult to it's creator. Evan works really hard on maintaining and improving Vue for what probably amounts to pennies on the dollar when compared with the money Facebook pumps into react.

I'm not saying that you're wrong about Vue not being a "thought-leader" or whatever, just that you really should be more appreciative of developers who release awesome libraries under OSS licensing.

That said, being a "thought-leader" is not necessary in order to make a difference. Software has been, is, and always will be an iterative process. We build upon the shoulders of giants that came before us. We take the best ideas from our predecessors and combine them to create something new and, hopefully, better. Regardless of your opinion on the philosophical aspects of Vue, you have to give credit to its creator and its community.

Point well taken.

Fibers only exist because sharing between Javascript threads is not currently an option.

React is a thing only because Javascript sent us back 20 years in time.

Not true. We have shared memory (SharedArrayBuffer) and we have sharing (Atomics), but parallelism is not the answer. Single threaded concurrency is a better model IMO. From my understanding, what is missing is preemptive scheduling a la delimited continuation...
Yes, I will agree with you, someone who's never created anything of worth nor ever will. And I know this because you have so little agency you had to use a throwaway account to write this.

who?

Jordan Walke and Sebastian Markbage easily fall into that category, from years working closely together. Christopher Chedeau perhaps too
I think Vue will maybe kill Ember, but not React.
