This must be very common right now? I'm at the exact same point with Vue3. 10+ years of experience, created two fulls stacks sass'es as a Tech Lead but i feel so slow learning this new stuff. Just installed a starter kit and been endlessly fiddling with a simple test frontend and couldn't get basic reactivity to work. I feel the documentation is riddled with advanced concepts and everything is way, WAY more complex than it has to be and there's no diagrams of the lifecycles and dataflow or what actually happens from user interaction to screen print - it's like theres a million steps now in a black box both in the build and on the user end. So many concepts, tools and atomisations to do rather simple things. Hope its just lockdown-world fatigue that will heal or that these new conventions will "click" soon.

When I started learning React I felt the same frustration but then it just clicked one day after maybe 2 months of struggling. I’m still waiting for the Vue click but it doesn’t seem to be happening.

  Interesting, how long have you been using Vue3? I'm only 3 weeks in and still waiting for that video or diagram or tutorial that really inform me on why all of this extreme overhead is needed to perform simple tasks. Does anyone have any good resources that made them enjoy the Composition api, Pinia etc?

    Maybe 3 months - the first two months I learned Vue 2 and then we were asked to do everything in Vue 3. I don’t mind the composition API but overall the framework feels over complicated at best, and goes out of its way to show you how much it’s not like another framework while using similar concepts. The result is that I now have to learn the same thing but with magic words. That could be the frustration talking though.

>> I feel the documentation is riddled with advanced concepts everything is way, WAY more complex than it has to be. Because it is. Mostly because it is relatively easy to create a complex system/framework. But incredibly harder to make a one that does the same but is simple to understand and use. And even among those, even less have all that well documented. Oh, and writing good docs requires a separate set of skills. If the person that writes docs doesn't have years of experience in technical writing - there is a good chance you will have hard time understanding docs written even for a simple thing. Also, I believe with age our bar for the quality of products and its docs raises as we don't have a ton of time to waste on digging into it.
