Better choice ultimately but I suspect the hype around "modern" everything these days would still lead a lot of people in that direction, even for simpler things like this. I did briefly look into Vue and didn't completely hate it. Although the docs (at least from my cursory glance) were suggesting you would need Node to get up and running with it. Good to know it doesn't need to be that complicated.
