In my opinion, Vue is the most elegant javascript library out there. Jquery used to take this spot for me, but Vue has superseded it . Everything just makes a lot of sense without a lot of fluff added to it. It does everything React does and I'd say does a lot more using less codes. When choosing a framework, simplicity, performance, and support are the main things you should look for and Vue is a hands-down winner here.

This is also why I'm positive about Vue having a good 'place' in the ecosystem. React can be a bit overkill for smaller projects. That said, I feel about it a bit like I do about testing. It might not be necessary for a lot of stuff, and it can feel tedious to do, but as projects grow, I often find myself wishing I'd added tests from the start. In general I find myself leaning towards preferring too much 'boilerplate' over too little, at least as rule of thumb.

  I'm curious how people think React is overkill when it's entire API pretty much boils down to one or two functions. React is the simplest, most powerful library I've used in my life. It's the community that (often misguidedly) adds the complexity.

    It's the React ecosystem. People didn't come up with the term javascript fatigue for nothing.

    Overkill might not have been the best choice of words. What I meant was that because React is so simple, it can be a lot more work for relatively little gain in a smaller app. It's same reason I used to often still go for jQuery. But I agree, I love the simplicity and it fits well with my rapid descent into being a functional programming weenie.
