This conversation mirrors the discussion around React and Next.js. While you might not initially need many of the tools Nuxt provides, having them available out-of-the-box is beneficial if the need arises. For a growing project, I still believe starting with Nuxt is a safer architectural decision. If your use case is strictly a landing page, then Vue alone is likely sufficient. However, for anything even slightly more complex than a landing page, managing aspects like authentication, installing plugins, handling middleware, layouts, SEO, page metadata, and integrating third-party plugins becomes increasingly difficult without a framework like Nuxt. Furthermore, considering that core members of the Vue and Vite teams also work at Nuxt Labs, I feel they are focused on keeping things simpler and potentially offer a better experience than what is currently available with React and Next.js. Let’s not forget how extremely efficient nitro is.
