Yep, totally agree. For now we are focussing on plain-old-JS with VueJS. Nothing more. It's just frustrating that the UI component library we want to use (FluentUI) requires React & TS, which in turn require a bundler / build system, which leads to a world of pain!

You can use any Typescript project in plain Javascript, it all compiles down to and runs as Javascript in the end. You obviously don't get the guarantees of static typing but you should be able to use React FluentUI in plain JS. FluentUI also seem to offer a web components distribution which you could probably use handily in Vue if you were so inclined.
