Yes, standard newbie-friendly Vue is a very similar to ng1 but with lower barrier of entry. Unfortunately it comes with the same downsides as Angular 1. The normal data-binding leads to a lot of confusion.
In order to mitigate that it is recommended to use components with unidirectional bindings but at that stage it just becomes an inferior version of React IMO.
