I hadn't heard of laracast until starting Vue development a few weeks ago.

The quality of answers were so low I found myself longing for the days of expertsexchange.com.

Why did laracast get so popular for Vue? What was wrong with Stack Overflow?

AFAIK Vue got a big popularity boost when Laravel's lead dev posted https://twitter.com/taylorotwell/status/590281695581982720

Then the Laravel ecosystem adopted it widely, and a good Vue.js tutorial series was published on Laracasts (which also happens to host the official Laravel forum)

Hence the close link with Vue and the Laravel community.
