Discussion on: Explain Vue to Me

As a fairly brand new hobbyist coder, Vue helps me by putting guide rails and structure around coding. HTML is in its own place. Even within the Javascript section, things are neatly organized into computed properties vs methods vs life cycle hooks. It helps me, the novice, read the code much more quickly and easily.

I tried React for a while and while there were things that seemed more open and less hand holding, I found myself struggling more with how to organize my code than actual coding. While that might be better for a full time developer, I'm just a hobbyist and I love the more standardized approach Vue uses.

The first party router and state management is also helpful. Vue is more of a "here we took the annoying stuff and just built it for you so you can focus on just making a product".

Never used Vue, but your write-up made me feel like I am going to enjoy it once I finish with JavaScript basics.
