Knockout is nice but feels closer to jQuery in that it requires a lot more discipline on the behalf of the developer to organise and maintain code. Things like ObservableArrays means dealing with another layer of abstraction; the wonderful thing with Vue is that it&amp;#x27;s just native JS objects all the way down. It also has a better structured child&amp;#x2F;parent component model with event flow, not to mention being much faster for rendering. I would also recommend Vue over Knockout.</text><parent_chain><item><author>iotscale</author><text>I started reading through the docs and found it very similar to Knockout.js.
