In an era when digital products determine business success, choosing a frontend technology is not just a technical solution, but an investment in the future. Imagine: your website or application not only launches quickly, but also scales easily, saves development resources, and makes users happy even after years. Vue.js, with its ecosystem, including Nuxt, offers just such an approach. Why? Because Vue combines simplicity, high performance, and flexibility, minimising the risks of code rewriting and reducing support costs. In this article, we'll look at how Vue outperforms competitors like React, Angular, and Svelte, and why choosing it is a step toward long—term competitiveness for your business.

In a world where development time and user experience directly affect revenue, Vue.js stands out for its intuitiveness and efficiency. Developed by Evan Yu in 2014, Vue combines the best of reactive frameworks: the declarative syntax from React and the modular structure from Angular, but without their frills. Unlike React, where developers have to rely on many third-party libraries for basic tasks, Vue offers standardised solutions — Vue Router for navigation and Pinia for data management. This reduces the "crutches" and speeds up product launches by 20-30% compared to React, where setting up the ecosystem can take weeks.

The real advantages of Vue are confirmed by practice: according to the State of Vue 2025, 70% of developers note its ease of learning, which is especially valuable for medium-sized teams. For businesses, this means lower hiring and training costs - newbies are productive in a month, rather than in a quarter, as is the case with React, which practices often cause confusion and debugging errors. Vue is optimised for performance: its proxy-based reactive system automatically tracks changes, without unnecessary re-renders, which saves up to 40% CPU on mobile devices compared to its counterparts.

Moreover, Vue consistently adopts and develops the best ideas from competitors. The Composition API in Vue 3 borrows React hooks, but makes them simpler and more type-safe with TypeScript, which makes scaling easier. Companies like Alibaba and Xiaomi use Vue for millions of users, proving its reliability at the enterprise level. By choosing Vue, you are investing not in hype, but in technology that grows with your business: Rodmap for 2025-2026 focuses on optimisation and sustainability, without radical migrations.

To understand Vue's superiority, it's worth taking a look at the competition. React, for historical reasons, is the most widespread, it is strong in the ecosystem, but its "freedom" turns into chaos: developers spend hours choosing libraries (Redux vs MobX vs Zustand vs Recoil - for storing state. React Router vs Reach Router vs Next.js Router – for configuring routing, etc.), which increases development and support time by approximately 25%. In 2025, React's problems are getting worse: endless re-renders slow down applications on weak devices, and migration to new features (like Server Components) requires rewriting the code, risking release delays. For a business, this means additional costs - up to $50K for refactoring for an average project.

Angular, with its all-in-one approach, is suitable for monoliths, but its rigidity and boilerplate scare it off: the learning curve is 2-3 times steeper than Vue, and bundles can be much heavier, which affects SEO and mobile performance. Svelte impresses with its speed, but its ecosystem is still small in 2025, only 10% of React, which makes it more difficult to hire specialists and integrate. As a result, Svelte risks becoming a dead end for startups or medium-sized businesses: fewer vacancies, more customisation efforts.

Vue avoids these pitfalls: it's lighter, faster to develop, and scales painlessly. Developers who have switched to Vue report fewer bugs, faster development, and a more user-friendly ecosystem. This is not a theory, but the practice of companies that save millions on support.

The Vue ecosystem is most vividly revealed in conjunction with Nuxt, a modern framework for server rendering and static generation. It allows you to create fast, stable, and SEO-oriented web applications without unnecessary complexity: automatic routing, pre-rendering, download optimisation, and built-in PWA support enhance Core Web Vitals and speed up interfaces, especially on mobile devices. This helps websites load faster, occupy higher positions in search results, and provide a high-quality user experience.

Nuxt is suitable for both small landing pages and complex corporate systems and is used by large companies such as Ozon, Alibaba Travels, Patreon, Trivago and Netflix. The modern Nitro-based architecture simplifies API work, speeds up releases, and makes the project more resilient to increased workload. Nuxt 3 is significantly more productive than previous versions, and updates are more predictable. Companies choosing Nuxt invest in long-term development: the product remains relevant, develops faster and brings a higher return on investment (ROI).

One of the most promising innovations is Vue Vapor Mode, which is being tested in 2025 and integrated into Vue Official from version 3.6. Vapor abandons Virtual DOM, compiling templates directly into optimised JS at the build stage. The result: rendering is 2-3 times faster, bundles are less than 10KB and 30-50% less memory.

This is a breakthrough for businesses: mobile sites load instantly, reducing churn by 25%. Imagine payment ATMs in shopping malls and budget smartphones — Vapor minimises power consumption, making interfaces smooth even on weak hardware. You will no longer need to spend money on buying more powerful devices, instead, working with memory will be optimised in the technology itself in such a way that the application will work quickly even on poor hardware! In web technologies (PWA, embedded systems), this will reduce hosting costs and increase accessibility. Vapor is expected to become the standard by 2026, providing your products with leadership in the era of edge computing and IoT, where ultra-fast startup, tiny size and minimal memory are important.

Choosing a frontend is choosing the trajectory of your business. Vue.With Nuxt and the upcoming Vapor, js doesn't just build products - it creates ecosystems where development is simple, optimisation is built in, and convenience for users and the team comes first. Unlike React with its complexities or Angular with its overload, Vue almost reduces risks and maximises value: faster startup, lower costs, higher user retention.

If you are planning a new project or migration, start with Vue — this is not a trend, but a strategy for sustainable growth. At “ROOT CODE” JSC, we can already see how customers on Vue/Nuxt are increasing metrics, saving budgets, and simply simplifying their lives by choosing the right technologies.
