These kinds of static site generators are really nice because they enable better support for smarter interactive components in articles. Things like graphs or interactive demos to showcase something (e.g. user input delay on an article about ui design and responsiveness). Vue is a particularly good choice for these kinds of applications because it's a lot more incremental and comes builtin with things like reactivity so there's no need for an external dependency for state management. Like a complete app is: --- import Vue from "vue/dist/esm.js"; app = new Vue({el: "#app", template:"<div>{{name}}</div", data: ()=>{{name: "john"}}; --- No jsx, no babel transpiler nonsense, no redux/mobx, It's also possible to completely forget about vue and do something like --- let data = app.$data; data.name = "adam"; --- This is so nice because you don't even have to think about the fact that you're using a framework, it's all taken care of for you. No setState(...) nonsense. The tradeoff is that there's magic (which I don't think is bad because in vue's case it's pretty straightforward once you get to learn it) but that's a separate discussion because I don't think that magic matters for very small simple cases like this.
