My impression is that vue is one of the first sane approaches to actual simple gui components for the web that works (delivering on the promise made by Web components). Do you really feel the mess of multiple files react seem to dictate is much better? (Honest question, I haven't really used either in anger). From what I can gather more radical approaches like elm and clojure script - seem promising, but are ultimately (for now) let down by the frameworks doing "too much" - in effect working against the rich vms browsers have become. I'd like to hear/see more of why you feel vue leads to (demands?) giant controllers as opposed to facilitate real re-usable components?
