Sometimes react ecosystem and all the dependencies feel way too much. Sometimes all I want is to use data bindings, and at those times I just ended up using Vue.

Same here, but in my case when I need that I usually go with Mithril.js[1]. I found it by chance and instantly liked it. It's a shame that nobody seems to know it.

The framework usage is still growing, though it is dwarfed in popularity even by Vue (which is ~60 as large). We do little to promote it, and hyperscript (the default view syntax, i.e.

    m('.foo', {...attrs}, ...children)

) is not very popular (even though I prefer it to JSX, which is also supported).

None of these are React dependencies.
