Holy crap, you wrote what I was thinking, except I've done web development since 2000. I've ditched all other javascript frameworks and am now all Vue, all the time (with a little vanilla js thrown in when needed).

Coincidentally, I've built a .NET core web app as well, with Vue.js handling nearly the entire UI. It's lightening fast since I'm letting .NET handle the backend and Vue handle the frontend. I built the entire thing on my little Macbook Air. Hit me up if you want to talk shop sometime.

I'm sure the ruby, python, rust folks are snickering...but .NET Core + Vue.js is an A-List webdev stack as fas as I'm concerned.
