How we do Vue: one year later

Over the past year, the team has extensively utilized Vue.js, finding it to be a reliable and efficient tool, akin to a "workhorse" rather than a mere buzzword, particularly when used properly alongside VueX for larger features. The development journey has led to the creation and continuous refinement of a comprehensive Vue style guide, which emphasizes writing high-quality, maintainable code and adhering to best practices such as avoiding jQuery for DOM querying in favor of server-side solutions. The integration of Vue has significantly improved the performance of GitLab's issue comments, transitioning from a jQuery and Rails-based implementation to a more streamlined, componentized structure that enhances page load speeds and reduces jank. Although refactoring can be costly and risky, the ultimate goals are to enhance code maintainability and developer satisfaction, which in turn fosters a more productive and enthusiastic development environment. Future plans include further refactoring to address the performance of merge request comments, aiming to alleviate the current issues with responsiveness and code maintainability.
