Let me give a shot: -templating language: First, Jsx is also a templating language. Second, Vue & svelte templates are html super set. So you can leverage your existing html skills. Vue allows you to use pug (and any other html compilation language). Templates also enable performance optimisations while jsx don’t. Jsx is more powerful construct, hence Vue supports it. - weird plugin architecture. All plugin architecture are weird. You can choose to not use plugins or write one. But they exist so for convenience of users - weird way of writing code. An object inside script of sfc. And SFCs Your mileage may vary. I prefer vue sfc. Especially because it is html like syntax and makes sense to me. If you prefer separate files, you can split html/js/css to separate files and link via src attribute - signals and two way data binding Vue has unidirectional flow. And two way binding is just syntax sugar for form inputs. And it is very good, if you have used react form, then you know what I am talking about - network effect is real It is real. And nothing can be done about it. :(
