While this is certainly good to get started, it’s definitely worth transitioning to a build-based process if for no other reason that components ran through vue-loader or vueify gets precompiled into render functions, so you get both speed and file size savings. This is a great guide for those investigating different options or those not comfortable with Webpack though. All our new front end stuff uses Vue.js now, and we’ve been very happy with it. No more unmaintable jQuery nightmares and much greater reusability, which goes even further when you throw renderless components into the mix. It does have one or two rough spots; for example passing events up more than two levels gets messy quickly unless you use Vuex (sometimes overkill) or a global event bus (works but feels quite hacky), but by and large it’s a very nice library, and certainly seems easier to get started with than something like React.
