Agreed. I've been loitering on their github trying to get a read on whether they're planning to do that. I get the impression they'll revamp everything when the 3.0 final release is ready.

Riot is really very poorly advertised and Vue is generally drinking its milkshake in that regard. It's a shame really, not that Vue isn't really neat (because it is), but because Riot is just really lean and productive but nobody knows about it. The vast majority of front-end library comparisons don't even include it.
