As a full stack dev I've just started learning vue js the last couple of months... I loved how you can create standalone components with just the CDN, so chose vue to update an existing jQuery only app. It's fantastic! So easy and powerful. I had no idea it was started by this one guy, what a legend! Super inspirational documentary, I'll keep working on my app until I can quit my 9-5 as well (with the help of vue)

I admire Evan, been following him for over 5 years and actually my first job was with Vue. It was a breeze to learn and work with and i loved every second of it. I then worked with React in a big corporation for over 4 years, and I have to say that it's different worlds in terms of DX and the framework API's... Today Melodic Mind uses Vue 3 and Nuxt under the hood to power all of it's apps and websites, and I hope to give back to the world of open source when I have that luxury! Awesome documentary, and i can't wait to see the future of Vue, Nuxt and open source in other fields as well.

Thanks you Evan for making my life as Developer easier... And yes I feel identified when they said a lot of Angular 1 users felt the difference when jumping to version 2 ... And then you had React with new concepts and then OMG I found Vuejs I added the CDN url on a very simple HTML page and started programming with Vue in a few seconds ... NO heavy webpack, etc lifting like React ... Just a simple Javascript CDN url and thats it I never jumped to React or switched to Angular 2,3,4 etc after finding Vuejs .. 4 years ago ...

[@vagyokvalaki7264]

I have been using React for 3 years and Vue for a few months in production. I think as a React developer you won't find anything particularly interesting about Vue. It has all the same parts and concepts (components, reactivity, lifecycles) plus ecosystem included (redux counterpart Vuex, CSS-in-JS baked in) but some additional ugly things like watchers, Angular.js style. In any non trivial projects you will have a build step to transpile ES2050 to ES5, and to create a production build, so no advantage in that regard, same if you use typescript for both like me. I think in general Vue is less idiomatic in terms of internal consistency with the frameworks own concepts and generally lagging behind in ideas and vision compared to others. An example is with React.Lazy for a while, or the coming async rendering using Fiber. I also think Vue is less declarative than React in means of "the UI is only a function of the state". It's more like a copycat of all the ideas they liked from elsewhere. It's nice and stuff, but if you know React it won't teach you anything fundamentally different.
