My Impressions of Vue CLI 3

I had been using Vue CLI 2 all this time, but today I finally installed Vue CLI 3. At first I couldn’t find the webpack configuration file and wondered what the heck this was, but then I saw this and was blown away.

This is the screen that shows up when you run the vue ui command, and from there you can do things like build, add dependencies, and check logs.

When I consider that it was just a few years ago that I developed with grunt running in a cmd window, this is amazing. Of course, you can still work from the CLI just like before. At this point, I even wonder whether this can still be called a CLI. Anyway, one more program has been added to the taskbar that I keep open all the time…

Of course, in the end I’ll return to the world of the CLI, whether bash or cmd…
