Whether or not Evan sees this, I hope he knows I'm thankful for him and his work. Vue is the only front-end framework I will ever consider (up to this point).

Whether or not Evan sees this, I hope he knows I'm thankful for him and his work. Vue is the only front-end framework I will ever consider (up to this point). For the most part, I think front-end frameworks are overused. Like, Uber's freight page — why the hell are they using React? My gut tells me some internal tooling bootstrapped setup, but something else tells me "because it's cool, and it's not cool not to use it." The appeal just isn't there to me. Developers (and c-level execs) seem to care about how hot their stack is, rather than how practical their stack is. I guess my liberty comes from being self-employed, and being able to make my own decisions. I don't want another thing to have to learn/document/support/break in my pipeline. I just want everything to work as fast as I need it to work, when I need it to work. I've managed just fine (as have many, many others) with just dropping in Turbolinks if I need "fast". HOWEVER, I will say that when the business requirements mentioned "get it close to real time" and "lots of moving parts on this [controller/page]", I ditched my janky-ass jQuery hackjob and went to Vue. And I'm really, really glad I did it.
