I have been hearing some really amazing things about Apollo, but it's poorly suited for the type of stuff we work on (which is fine, not all tools work for all problems). That's the amazing thing about Vue: it's utterly void of opinions (apart from components). The ecosystem of stores (there's also the functional one) is testament to Vue achieving elegance through simplicity.
