I also appreciate Vue's simple elegance. It is a breath of fresh air, amidst all the dust and commotion of the JavaScript ecosystem's tooling bloat and constant reinvention, that Vue can just be dropped in to ant standard HTML page.

Meteor.js, another project with which you are familiar, started with a similar promise of developer simplicity, but it was subsumed and abandoned in favor of the "Facebook-level scalability for all apps and at all costs" mantra that has swept through the JS community.

Regardless of the nuances of this RFC, please remember the value of simplicity as Vue evolves.
