I found Nuxt absolutely terrible to work with when I tried it about 1.5 years ago. Bad documentation, confusing terms and architecture. I ditched it. Has it become any better? I'm pretty comfortable with Vue.js.

Probably not. A few weeks ago, I went from zero to building something with it. The documentation is certainly not as good as Vue. Which is a shame. I wish someone from their team talked to the documentation master over at Vue and made their documentation as good. The only other criticism that I have, is that with Vue there are a lot of people over at discord. So if you can get stuck, you'll get some help. For Nuxt, you'll just get flat out ignored. Especially if you are developing on a Node JS framework no one is using. I really wish there was more competition in this space. Happy Gridsome is stepping up and hopefully will be better in aspects compared to Nuxt. That said, in a few weeks. Will build something with Gridsome and then I can have a better opinion.

  Vue's documentation is a work of art, backed by a clear philosophy about the underlying software. If a consultation with them was all it took to produce docs that compelling, they probably should go into the consulting business so we can all have perfect docs.

    Laravel's documentation is also great to read. It's well done, concise enough and presented in a pleasant manner.

I haven't used Nuxt but I just recently read some complaints about it basically eating errors and making debugging a nightmare.

  Ran into that. I don't day-to-day manage or work on those projects but I've been involved in troubleshooting build issues. Certain key functionality/plugins could "fail" with an error to the console but the build will continue and exit with success. You find out about the problem when pieces or the entire site are not working.

Vue CLI + DIY The CLI is actually pretty powerful and has some great configs out of the box that people think they need Nuxt for.
