Note, this ranking is based on number of new GitHub stars in 2017. Vue.js currently has ~79k stars and, number two on the list, React has ~85k stars. Vue.js is poised to surpass React this year in number of GitHub stars. Whatever that is worth.
It's great to see Vue.js getting so much love. I've been extolling it's virtue on HN and elsewhere for years now. The fact that it has gained so much traction and is not the baby of one of the big Internet megacorps is a testament to it's genuine quality as a frontend Web framework. After many devs finally realized that Angular sucked even though, or especially because, it was backed by Google, it was sad to see the same people jump on to the React bandwagon, in a large part, because it was backed by Facebook. There are legitimate reasons for liking React but a lot of its adoption has been due to FOMO. Vue.js stands on its own.
