>The dev tools feel extremely polished and feature complete. Much less than that of Fx or Chrome. No support of extensions means I can't use something like https://github.com/vuejs/vue-devtools, no command menu, poor debugger, no performance\memory usage information etc. The list can go on and on. Safari's dev tools are about at the same level as they were in Chrome or Fx 5+ years ago. As for the extensions part... well, not everybody needs them, I guess, but I can't really imagine my browser without at least, 1P, uBO, Stylys, Tempermonkey, TreeStyleTabs, Tab Session manager, Bloody Vikings! and All Mangas Reader.

I recently tried out vue.js on a projet as a replacement to d3's selection/data-binding magic. I have to say, I've been impressed. 1. The API surface is fairly small, especially compared to Angular. I could grok how it worked very fast. 2. The fact that it works without build tools is a godsend. My project is fairly small, and having as fast an iteration cycle is really nice. 3. The debug tools are awesome. EDIT: https://github.com/vuejs/vue-devtools However, I do have a BIG problem: the fact that mutating the data automatically does a rerender is a nice idea, but in practice it falls apart very quickly and leads to fairly hard-to-debug bugs. For instance, if I add a new field to an object, it will not be detected as a change by Vue and not cause a rerender[0]. In my case, it broke the magic and caused me to look into how the heck did vue

actually work - only to find out I had to call this.$forceUpdate() in a few places. It's terrible. React, despite its problems, is nice because of exactly this : its data binding is entirely non-magical. You have to go through setState or force an update. The mental model is dead simple. I wish I could like vue more... [0] It is somewhat documented here: https://vuejs.org/v2/guide/instance.html#Data-and-Methods among other places
