I only use Vue when I need to alter the data clientside before it gets rendered. For example mark some of the users in the list as friends depending on which friends the user has stored in localStorage.
If the data is ready to render while still on the sever, I do so.
I'm DevOps, with 20+ years background in Ops. So the Dev side of things often fascinates and confuses me.
Thank you for clearly talking about why you'd use Vue and when you wouldn't. It's this sort of experience-based knowledge that I often lack.
I'm currently writing basic (very basic!) node stuff intended to further my understanding of Kubernetes: accessing a database, talking to a redis instance, etc etc. It can be bewildering trying to navigate the "oh-so-easy" basic examples of different frameworks and compare their different features.
Hm, that sounds like I'm asking for help, which I'm not - I just want to give an example of why your comments were so helpful to me!
