I think there's merit on staying small-ish. Not every framework has to be a giant that dominates the industry.
Having a small community means the potential for focus and strong canonical learning resources, as opposed to the mess of poorly written React and Angular posts/"guides" we get every week. The community feels tighter and it may be easier for the maintainer(s) to manage it and the codebase.
Ember is a good example. Ember's community isn't small (sold out conferences every year), but it's not in the spotlight like React or Angular are. That doesn't mean the framework is doing poorly. If anything, their community and meetups are "better" than React's (for my definitions of a good community/meetup).
- kerkeslager 9y agoYou may be right about the quality of meetups, but meetup quality is a pretty unusual metric for a JS framework's success.
- sotojuan 9y agoTrue. At work we use React for the practical reasons explained by others in the comments. My point was that Vue doesn't need to be huge. It's fine the way it is and its current size has some benefits.
- bartekb 9y agoAs the author of the article, I would agree with you on that. Still, I would love to see it grow to some extent to allow Vue developers to find jobs more easily and CTO's to see its value, while still managing to hold a good community and not messing the framework up.
