You can use other frameworks the way you use vue but it's not advertised much. E.G: I teach reactjs by first starting with a simple script tag like you can do with vue. No webpack. No JSX. Suddenly students get it. No magic. It just makes sense. But this approach is not common nor first class citizen. What I like with vue is that the authors understand the value of scaling up, as well as scaling __down__. You can feel it in the doc, the API, the community... So yes, all in all, vuejs will be lighter to use, not because the others can't be, but because it doesn't judge you for wanting to.

i am not a frontend person but i had tried multiple times to learn react and angular. every time, i became frustrated in the tooling phase and gave up. like... geez, i'm having this much trouble already and i haven't even learned the first thing about syntax or reactivity. then i learned vue, and was able to build something in an afternoon. and, at the end of the afternoon, i had the tooling too. but the vue learning path doesn't teach tooling until after you get a feel for why and how vue can solve your problems. how it is taught is 100% of the reason vue found a place in my life. HUGE missed opportunity by the other frameworks, which are so eager to prove that they have the bells and whistles that they trip over their own feet trying to get people started. had i learned from you rather than from docs, i would be using react in my personal projects and never would have looked at vue.
