>You’ll be adding similar boilerplate for computed properties, component state, watchers, etc. Pretty much everything in Vue has its own special syntax with more boilerplate.

I kinda like this syntax, when I first learned vuejs I knew immediately that some magic was going on in the background. If I saw marko's syntax I'd be wondering how this shit is getting done. It also makes it easier when searching for issues or suggestions. "vuejs computed property" vs searching generic terms.

This part is simply not true, there's tons of individual vuejs communities all pretty decent. Shoot me for saying this but laracast isn't a bad option for Vue help. Everytime I have an obscure problem I find a solution on there.

>The reactivity system will only track changes under certain conditions. Don’t expect to throw anything you wish at it

This is the one part I hate about vue.

>Does this mean authentication logic goes in Vuex too? Will a state manager start mediating all application logic now?

Been there done that. I typically use vuejs for lightweight applications solely because I do run into this issue.
