Introduction

Developers in the industry are required to resolve frontend development problems quickly with minimal impact on existing workflows or backend architecture. In many cases, the UI is overlooked completely until the end of a project, which can happen because of a lack of resources, ever-evolving product requirements, or the existing attitude that the frontend is the easy bit. However, companies such as Apple and Google have proven that design thinking on the frontend is key to a solid product or platform that will excite and engage users leading to a higher return on investment and a more successful business.

If you have found Vue.js, you may have also come across other frontend frameworks that, at face value, solve the same problems such as Ember, Angular, or React. At the surface level, they all attempt to make reactive frontend development more reliable and introduce patterns that make this easier to do. However, there are some critical differences in how a Vue project might play out compared to an Angular or React project. Let's look into them.
