I refuse to believe VueX is any simpler than Redux: https://github.com/vuejs/vuex/blob/dev/examples/counter/stor...
Also you don't have to import your actions, it's just a smart thing to do. This gives me heartache a bit: https://github.com/vuejs/vuex/blob/dev/examples/counter/Coun...

Read the project’s introduction
Vuex
Pinia is now the new default
The official state management library for Vue has changed to Pinia. Pinia has almost the exact same or enhanced API as Vuex 5, described in Vuex 5 RFC. You could simply consider Pinia as Vuex 5 with a different name. Pinia also works with Vue 2.x as well.
Vuex 3 and 4 will still be maintained. However, it's unlikely to add new functionalities to it. Vuex and Pinia can be installed in the same project. If you're migrating existing Vuex app to Pinia, it might be a suitable option. However, if you're planning to start a new project, we highly recommend using Pinia instead.
Vuex is a state management pattern + library for Vue.js applications. It serves as a centralized store for all the components in an application, with rules ensuring that the state can only be mutated in a predictable fashion. It also integrates with Vue's official devtools extension to provide advanced features such as zero-config time-travel debugging and state snapshot export / import.
Learn more about Vuex at "What is Vuex?", or get started by looking into full documentation.

7 sources> Vue just renders components. There's no state management, built in routing, or any of the other things you get for free with Ember/Angular/etc.
That's not really true anymore; there is now an official router[1] and state management library[2] for Vue. You don't have to use them, but I think the comparison is still completely fair.

For most Single Page Applications, it’s recommended to use the officially-supported vue-router library. For more details, see vue-router’s documentation.

Out of the box or not, they're part of the same github org, they're officially supported and they're documented in the official docs. I think this is just splitting hairs.
In Switching From React To Vue.jsVuex (https://github.com/vuejs/vuex) and vue-router (https://github.com/vuejs/vue-router) are nothing flashy, yet really solid. There are tons more in the awesome-vue repo (https://github.com/vuejs/awesome-vue).
Even though Vue has less libraries/extensions than something like React, the core: state management, routing, Vue component spec are quite good.
In Show HN: Real-time notes app built with Vue.js, inspired by Notational VelocityLooks like they're using Vuex (https://github.com/vuejs/vuex)
It's a nice library, I've used it for a few projects.
In Show HN: Real-time notes app built with Vue.js, inspired by Notational VelocityI had the same impression about Vue. When Redux came out I tried to learn React/Redux and, although I got it, it felt verbose and I couldn't quite pass the noob phase. Maybe I din't try hard enough.
With Vue, on the other hand, it was easier to get started. I got a prototype working in a week with no previous knowledge of the framework. I'm avoiding the component state and using a Redux like approach using props and a centralised state, and I didn't even need to use Vuex[1].
I'm using typescript, which helps catch a lot of bugs early on, it's a little difficult to integrate with single file components[2] (which are awesome, btw), but once I got it working, it proved to be an excellent combo.
The documentation is cristal clear and very beginner friendly. If you're getting started I highly recommend using vue-cli[3] to bootstrap your projec

I think Vue sits between React and Angular, being simpler than Angular, offering more features than React, and easier than both to get started.
