I'm curious as to why some people refer to Vue as "the new hotness". I understand the concept but Vue was realeased in February 2014, which seems pretty ancient in JavaScript years. Wasn't React released only a year prior? Well, it's been around since 2011 but it was open sourced in 2013. Either way, Vue has been around and in use for a little while now.
