Vue's momentum in 2025

Vue didn’t need to reinvent itself to stay relevant because it’s already deeply trusted.

93% of developers plan to use Vue again.
80% say “definitely, up significantly from just a few years ago.

That loyalty is earned through performance, flexibility, and a focus on developer experience. In 2026, Vue isn’t chasing trends. It’s built for real-world work.

Core library: performance mode ahead

Its reactivity engine, the heart of Vue’s responsiveness, is getting low-level boosts that will unlock smoother UIs and better performance for large apps. The Vue team has also previewed Vue 3.6, which focuses on a “massive reactivity performance improvement”, according to Evan You. Vapor Mode may land next year – and when it does, Vue apps will get noticeably faster.

Vue’s not just growing, it’s solidifying.

Nuxt 4: clean structure, no drama

Nuxt 4 made full-stack development feel native.

You now get cleaner file structure, built-in data fetching, better TypeScript, and a CLI that just works.

Nuxt Studio and Nuxt UI Premium are now free – and Nuxt 5 (with Nitro v3) is already on the horizon. In 2026, building full-stack Vue apps will feel less like connecting pieces and more like one seamless system.

Frontend devs are now expected to think full-stack.

Pinia 3: simpler, stronger

Pinia 3 said goodbye to Vue 2, and made a clear commitment to Vue 3 simplicity.

Stores are easier to manage, safer to type, and more maintainable.

In 2026, knowing how to architect state the right way will set you apart from devs still untangling spaghetti logic.

Pinia’s not trying to change your state logic. It’s just trying to keep it sane.

Vue Router: now with data + transitions

The official router evolved fast. In 2025, it added:

• Data loading APIs at the route level
• Native View Transitions
• Stable typed route support

In 2026, you’ll be expected to use these to build better UX, with fewer workarounds.

Expect more refinements here in 2026 – especially around AI‑assisted route generation and performance optimization.

Vite: fast now, rust-fast soon

Vite is evolving into something much bigger, a full Rust-powered toolchain with Vite Plus.

With Rolldown (bundler), OxLint (linting), and unified environment APIs, Vite in 2026 will be more than just fast reloads – it’ll be a full productivity engine.

By 2026, expect Vue apps to compile faster, lint cleaner, and deploy smoother – with Vite doing most of the heavy lifting behind the scenes.

What to expect in 2026

Here’s what developers using Vue seriously will need to master:

• Full-stack capabilities with Nuxt, Supabase, Prisma, and Nitro
• Modular state systems using Pinia at scale
• Typed routes and smarter page transitions with Vue Router
• Rust-speed builds and linting with Vite Plus
• AI integrations that automate documentation, testing, and refactoring
• Real credentials to prove it all

And that’s where Vue School fits in. Our upcoming 2026 course lineup is built to support all of these emerging skills, expanding not only what’s already in the library but also what’s soon to arrive.
