Vue-less Spark

Hello Why Can't there be a Spark version that does not use Vue? Not all developers, like my self, are very fluent or even heard of VUE before Spark. This creates the same situation as simply using Laravel, but instead of implementing billing and user Auth, you have to spend time learning and becoming fluent in VUE.

My other gripe about VUE, is why use it..., it seems like an extra, and unnecessary, step in displaying data.

To me and from some of the things people are saying, Spark would be MUCH better for the novice/less experienced developers if it was VUE-less.

Any thoughts?

How much are Vue used for in Spark? Everything that is made in Vue is able to be made with pure JS, but depending on how much, it might be a lot of work.

Unfortunately there are no where I can see a demo of Spark.

As much as I want frameworks or packages to be unopinionated or fit everyone, it is important to note that you will have to build that part from scratch. Taylor built it with Vue because it feels more natural to him (or whatever reason he has) so he feels like others should learn it too. Remember that all frameworks are opinionated so you don't really have any other choice but to learn the tools you are using if you really wanna use them. No one will ever satisfy everyone with the way a framework or tool works, so people have to adapt to what they have or build it themselves.
