We moved from Angular 1.3 to Vue.js. Vue came at a right time and I especially liked its ease of use, similarity to Angular and footprint. The most important thing to me personally was the speed and the development feedback cycle.
I feel purposefulness of Vue's design. There are no gigatons of features and behaviors which make you scratch your head and think "why it is there to begin with" like why Ang2 insists on using observer objects for HTTP responses, or why Ang1 had a such an extensive buildover around its component zoo to do just "new mySerice", or reasons for React's component rendering order peculiarities, or logic behind their choice of syntax.
Vue is very bare bones thing. It provides no reactive layer over complex object with non-primitive content. Lack of native support for maps or sets from ES6 is inconvenient a bit, but it is not hard to provide a function wrapper around any logic that uses them. I usually keep all business logic outside of Vue's instance and only wire though its inputs and outputs.
What I lack in all common frameworks is the ability to play smoothly with really complex DOM manipulations, like swapping prototypes of a DOM elements and mergings. Trying to do something like complex drag and drop logic usually means doing a lot of "do it within DOM element, or do it within framework's element" thinking

I'm actually hoping Vue.js builds everything needed for a Reactive minimalist framework and then development slows down similar to the speed of jQuery. I think people are sick of frameworks doing overhauls of their entire codebases every major version release.
