Hey ng12, author here. I totally agree with you. I am the biggest proponents of keeping things simple. I initially was hesitant to introduce Vuex. I've written a few huge apps in Vue without anything else but Vue. The cool thing is you can, of course, continue to do that. But again, you just have to follow some strict patterns. Or, to make it simpler, you can get some help from Vuex and let it help you follow those strict patterns. Either way, one is best off if they follow a strict pattern. If not self guided, then library guided. Especially on a big team you can reduce the stress of that strictness if everyone uses Vuex. With so much code flying through GitLab, Vuex is the answer, for quicker code reviews.

I guided my (small-ish) team away from VueX when we reached for VueJS earlier this year in an application. I based these decisions, at least in part, off of the GitLab engineering teams efforts, as well, for what it's worth. We are all still happy wth that decision. I don't have much more to add to the discussion but to say that it's very nice knowing that if we reached a certain level of complexity that we could, fairly easily, introduce VueX and be back at our previous pace without a lot of hubbub.

Glad to hear that we influenced your decision.
