> One of the reasons they picked Vue is because (...) it allows you to do so without a build step

I think it's great that Vue is capable without a build step; however, this implies one restriction, which is that you must have all the components loaded before the application starts. And Async components don't help here because you would have to mantain a list of components names, which without a build step become cumbersome.

I would like that my proposal for lazy loading components (https://github.com/vuejs/vue/pull/8807) would be accepted, then we would have the ability to load components on demand without a build step.
