Reading the comments here and on previous Vue thread, I see a nice example of psychological reactance at play. First, it was "You're going to replace the API? No no don't do this, don't force us to use this new thing that sucks over the old better one!". Now, it is "Oh, so you're not going to replace the old API? Come to think of it, the new API is a really nice idea, has some pretty useful concepts in it!".

Are you sure that both complains are being made by the same person? Vue is a popular project, and unless an idea is backed unequivocally by 100% of its user base then you'll always hear some users arguing in favour and others against.

People are always more motivated to criticise. I love the idea of the new API for a few reasons, but wouldn't just comment "yay, that's cool" on the previous post. I'm happy it stays as a plugin though.
