That's also why taking on Vue is a huge risk. The project has a high bus factor. If the main author burnt out and quit, the project is dead.

Vue is used by huge Chinese companies, and tons of Chinese startups. It's also adopted by Laravel, which is very popular in PHP land. It's not going anywhere soon.

That is the word on the street, but I have yet to see publicly visible evidence of it. You can inspect Facebook to see React is there. You can inspect Walmart to see React is there. You can inspect LinkedIn to find Ember there. I have yet to see flagship product of huge companies built on Angular or Vue. Is Alibaba.com built with Vue?

Most of Office 365 and Azure from the web side is Angular. That's a pretty good endorsement.

It definitely is not because not only are there other contributors but Alibaba and Monterail have also made meaningful contributions (the former also developing an analog to React-Native but with Vue).

Meaningful contribution in what way? This is Vue's contribution graph sorted by addition: https://github.com/vuejs/vue/graphs/contributors?from=2016-0...

The #2 person contributes only about 1% compared to the #1 person.

Compare to React's same graph: https://github.com/facebook/react/graphs/contributors?from=2...

The #2 person is at about 50% of the #1 person.

Compare to Ember's same graph: https://github.com/emberjs/ember.js/graphs/contributors?from...

The #2 person is at 75% of the #1 person.

Looks like the correct statement is that Alibaba mostly contributed to Weex: https://github.com/apache/incubator-weex/graphs/contributors.
