The Docs take Vue to a league of its own. I'd contend that no other JS ecosystem has docs that are as lucid, concise and beginner friendly as Vue's. This intro to VueX (Vue's state management library) is a good example: https://vuex.vuejs.org/

Are you guys all using ad blockers? I open Vue docs — and the right-hand column of the screen is a wall of ads. For comparison, I open React docs — and there are only docs there (unless you count the obligatory BLM header). With a larger font, too, because there, docs don't need to compete for page space with the ads.

Where are you looking? I don’t even see a Space for ads.

There is a small, simple ad in the top left, above the menu, but that's it. If all ads were like that and I had no privacy concerns, I would not even need an ad blocker.

You might want to check your browser/machine for something hijacking and inserting ads. The only ad I see is in the top-left and it is very non-intrusive and doesn't distract from the content at all.

There are 2 ad networks on the page. But only 1 tiny ad by carbonads.com .

Check what extensions you use, and use uBlock Origin as your adblocker.

uBlock Origin removes something from that page. But when I disable it, I see no difference at all.

I also have no ad blocker and see just the one small non intrusive ad. No PiHole or custom dns either. Might be worth looking deeper into what’s going on to see if something on your computer is injecting ads into webpages you view.

For the reference, since the comments made me realise we might all be seeing Vue docs page differently, here's how it shows up for me (no ad blockers; ads in the top, top left and right corners of the screen):

Yes, there are ads. Top promo, 2 spaces for sponsors, and a small banner from Carbon ads. Depending on your resolution, it can take up significant space:

It's not noticeable on larger screens but they should consolidate these to a single location and definitely don't have a banner ad in the main page header.

I'd say that Svelte's are better, plus the tutorial teaches everything. The nice thing with Svelte is that there's not much to it and you can read the entire docs in a few hours.

The biggest good side of Evan I think is that he stands out as a non doctrinaire among webdev stars, not claiming that this, and that pattern/paradigms is the biggest thing since sliced bread.

Projects driven by "biggest things since sliced bread" tend to vane very quickly after the initial excitement, and agiotage about its buzzword feature is gone.
