Possibly because vue does not have any builtin http capability... which is kind of the point GGP is trying to make up there. Angular is not overengineered, it's just feature-complete. vue is not "simple made easy", it just delegates lots of functionality to 3rd party, leaving the confused developer to read medium posts on the line of "axios vs. vue-resource". I prefer the vue way, but it's a subjective personal preference and should basically be ignored by others.
