I love me some Vue. VueX is actually quite simple, especially compared to Redux. It doesn’t try to invent too much new terminology.

I did end up needing to reach for jQuery in two situations with Vue. First was to auto focus form inputs when the form becomes visible. For the life of me could not find a good way to do this with Vue. Second was when a particular architecture of the app required using lots of modals. Vue just doesn’t do well with components that live inside modals and need to be reset whenever a modal is opened or closed. Basic CRUD using Bootstrap modals is a huge pain, especially the Update mode. I ended up creating rather gross hacks for notifying the component in the modal that it needs to be reset.

One of the coolest things I did with Vue/VueX is having updates about server side events delivered via WebSockets. A single generic connection to the server pushes CUD events about all the relevant models to the client, where VueX duetifully executes the ADD/UPDATE/REMOVE actions for instant updates to all parts of the app.
