They switch because it lets you do things the old, incorrect way. Like using jquery. People want what they don't have to spend time learning. They're used to templates with handlebars. Used to mutating variables. That's why I think so many jquery people and those touting "you don't need jsx or babel" use it. Because it lets you be lazy and do things they way you're used to instead of better practices that have been found. It's funny when I hear people act like its way too difficult to setup babel. I'm sorry, but if you're using any ES6 stuff (who doesn't use arrow functions) and you need to support older browsers (a real production app would). Then you're going to need babel and include some polyfills. Go ahead and use vue without all this "horrible babel pipeline" and don't use any language features that have been added in the past three years if that's really what you want.
