Vue is also a simple view library.

You keep bringing up Angular, as if Vue has something to do with it. Vue is so much closer to React than to Angular.

> You're taking on considerable risk when you use a technology without a vested backer (Facebook is heavily vested in React, look at Angular 1 for an example of a framework with a big backer than is not vested, the API was completely broken in a rewrite). Smaller frameworks also suffer from a lack of sustained development.

Sorry, but that sounds a lot like rationalization and wishful thinking, written purely to make React look good and anything else look bad.

Vue also has backers that contribute financially, a large community using it and sustained development. The fact that it isn't as big as React doesn't make it unworthy of existing or unable to provide the same technical benefits as React.
