I keep hearing good things about Vue. Do you know how it compares to Angular 2? More framework than library? State management built in?

Most interesting pieces of vue are separate plugins. Ie vue-router for routing. I believe there's a state manager, but I haven't reached a level of complexity where I've needed to use it (I've got maybe 40 .vue components in an app which acts as a hub for IIoT units) Vue is just the V in angular's MVC, so there's definitely less to it. Using it with es6, webpack, .vue files, and vue-router has been a great experience. That said, the other half of my job involves .net/c/assembly/tcp, so I always worry I'm a step behind on web dev because I'm not devoted to it full time.

The Vue guide has a comparison just for you. (might or might not be too biased, I don't know ng2) [0] Vue deals only with the view layer. So I would't directly compare it to Angular. But the authors do give you Vuex, for Redux-style state management, and Vue-Router which does exactly that. Alternatively: - use a second Vue instance as an event bus. Bonus points as the Vue devtools list all the events fired. Makes it easy to debug. - due to it's reactive nature, Vue let's you implement a single source of truth quite easily. [1] - Using dynamic components, you might not even need a router [2] Personally, I've tried to use the single source of truth pattern but quickly resorted to Vuex. It just resonates with me.
