Nuxt has always been a strange tool that doesn’t really fit well into any good use case, unless your only experience is Vue and Nuxt.
Hard to see the real reason for Vercel to do this. The pessimist in me wonders if perhaps they are hoping to influence how Vue is developed in the same way they now influence how React is developed after hiring several React team members.
But even that doesn’t seem that likely considering the relatively tiny Vue market share and microscopic still Nuxt market share.
I also consider its “community” to be a strange place too. It’s on Discord, and a couple of years ago common internet abbreviations were considered ban worthy rule-breaking offences.
Even the word “lmao” would get you an instant warning from a bot. The framework itself and its oddball community were enough poor experiences for me to stop using it pretty quickly.

- threetonesun 1y agoGet Nuxt people paying to deploy on Vercel and over time force the user base to Next and React would be my guess.
- pier25 1y ago> doesn’t really fit well into any good use case I agree. If you want an SPA just use Vue's official router. It's getting better now thanks to Eduardo working on file-based router, data loaders, Pinia colada, etc. If you want a static site or MPA, Astro really seems like a better choice than Nuxt. https://uvr.esm.is/ https://uvr.esm.is/ https://pinia-colada.esm.dev/ https://pinia-colada.esm.dev/
- etchalon 1y agoThere is no universe in which Astro is a better choice than Nuxt for Vue-based MPA, SSG or SPA with SSR situations.
- pier25 1y agoNo universe, huh? https://imgur.com/MxSrgj1 https://imgur.com/MxSrgj1
- etchalon 1y agoI have no idea what you think that graph is showing or how its relevant.
- pier25 1y agoYou don't think having a significantly better CWV score is relevant?
- etchalon 1y agoI think plain text has the best possible CWV score yet is also deficient as an alternative for Nuxt if you're dealing with Vue-based MPAs, SSG or SPAs with SSR.
- pier25 1y agoAre you saying that Astro can only output plain text? If that's the case, you're completely missing the point.
- etchalon 1y agoThere is no universe in which I'm saying Astro can only output plain text. I am pointing out that CWV scores are irrelevant to the discussion. You are arguing that a Miata is valid competitor to an F150, while I'm repeatably trying to explain I need to tow a horse trailer.
- yieldcrv 1y ago> Hard to see the real reason for Vercel to do this. Next supremacy is very obvious Kills all those Linkedin threads about moving away from Next. Kills the indecision for what employment-seeking devs need to optimize for. Makes those job descriptions less all over the place and even more Next focused
- eclipxe 1y agoThat doesn't make any sense at all. Vercel wins either way if you choose Next, Nuxt, or Svelte. Seems obvious - why would they care if you use Next vs. Nuxt now?
- bakugo 1y ago> Vercel wins either way if you choose Next, Nuxt, or Svelte. Seems obvious - why would they care if you use Next vs. Nuxt now? Because maintaining three projects is more expensive than maintaining one. It's within their best interests to quietly extinguish any alternatives in favor of the one that most closely matches their vision.
- etchalon 1y agoWhat? Nuxt is the only "out-of-box-everything-works" framework for Vue. So yes, if you use Vue, you use Nuxt.
- eclipxe 1y agoI actually love Nuxt. If you want all the fullstackness of Next, but without having to deal with React, it's perfect.
