> Two way data binding [...] is a very good option for small applications or POC. But for very complex UI you should consider using one way data binding and explicit state updates/mutations. I don't agree with this. Two-way data binding is a powerful tool that can make composing components very effective when used correctly in any size application. If you have a number of custom generic input components (sliders, color pickers, value inputs with popup sliders, etc...). Being able to compose them into a custom ui just by binding with v-model is remarkably efficient for the developer. Having said that this is only good when you compose dumb or generic inputs.
