   Backbone is a structural JS library/framework. It gives your app a backbone. Vue provides data binding so your View(Vue) gets automatically updated when data changes. Completely different.

   We are currently in the process of finding ways to implement many formats more quickly. It's certainly on our radars, although I can't promise it will make it into the next release.

   @wadentandy, Yes that is still something we are figuring out the best way. For a major feature (like issue boards), because we won't use Vue for everything, we load those files on a per page basis.

   Hi @49531. Sorry you felt that our conversation was weird. Regardless of my opinion of React, Vue or any Frontend Framework, I never want anyone to have a weird interview. My main feeling with Vue vs. React (maybe this should be a different

    Thanks @allan_s we are aware of the slowness of the diff tab. It is something we are actively (this very second) working on. I am not aware of the slowness of the text area. Can you create an issue to show us so we can fix it? https:/
