That's interesting -- my experience has been 180° away. I agree that recent features have added complexity and made the barriers for newcomers a little higher, though. At its core, however, everything just 'clicked', the templating works beautifully, and single-file-components are superb. I'll write React and Ember when necessary, but coming back to Vue is always a welcome relief. I've lost count of the number of times I decided to start off writing what felt 'right' intuitively, and found things just worked first time. In that sense at least, there are echoes of Rails for me.
