My path was FrontEnd -> AngularJS -> Vue ; Personally I liked angular for the same reason I think people liked jQuery back in the day; it just made a bunch of previously annoying things easy to do--lots of helper methods, custom components, etc.--which let me develop things faster. Also all those utils had good docs, all in one place! Besides dev speed, it also managed complexity better by allowing me to organise things (which was a challenge before es6). Vue is less of a kitchen sink library, but it still makes it easier for me to avoid dealing with some things I don't want spend time on--binding, components, etc., and it also let's me manage complexity better through organising things with components. There aren't many projects I'd start without it; it just feels so much faster to develop if I'm working on a UI heavy app.
