I'm a huge fan of Vue. I love it's simplicity and how it integrates with standard web technologies (HTML/CSS) instead of baking everything into Javascript.

We are using it to build Webase [1] and couldn't be happier with the technology choice.

Can't wait to watch this documentary.

React doesn't bake CSS into JavaScript and Vue is hardly standard HTML.

more "standard" compared to jsx for sure. To me, jsx feels like an ugly hack.

I don't know much about JSX internals but to me it feels a lot closer to HTML than Vue templates do. It feels a lot more natural to create multiple elements by mapping a list than it is to use v-for

And Vue's weird, non-standard quasi-template attributes don't?

Not at all. Vue's templating (and angular's) is essentially extended HTML--you're writing HTML _as HTML_, using HTML's native practices (element attributes) to hook into the JS.

I disliked this when I first used Angular, but after adjusting to it I've found that it's highly respectful of HTML's design patterns, the opposite of a hack.

They're not really a hack since javascript does support custom attributes. Jsx is not supported out of the box by javascript and jsx extends the syntax, so what does actually feel more of a hack?

```const element = <h1>Hello, world!</h1>;``` How is this less of a hack compared to vue's attributes?

Neither Vue's template syntax nor React's JSX look like standard HTML. So I'm not sure what you're talking about.

Other than curly braces and some custom attributes how does Vue not look like HTML?

Webase looks like engineer.ai

Yes. Definitely similar. I do like their tagline - "Software as easy as ordering pizza"

any real feedback on those agencies 2.0 ?

IIRC Vue doesn't deal with CSS directly at all. I think you're thinking of Webpack's `vue-loader`, which processes CSS through Vue's template syntax.
