CSS Blocks vs Vue CLI

CSS Blocks vs Vue CLI: What are the differences?

CSS Blocks: A component-oriented CSS authoring system by LinkedIn. By combining an opinionated authoring system, build-time analysis and rewriting of templates, and a new type of CSS optimizer, css-blocks breathes new power and ease of use into the technologies and best practices that stylesheet developers already know and love; Vue CLI: Standard Tooling for Vue.js Development. Vue CLI aims to be the standard tooling baseline for the Vue ecosystem. It ensures the various build tools work smoothly together with sensible defaults so you can focus on writing your app instead of spending days wrangling with config.

CSS Blocks and Vue CLI can be primarily classified as "JavaScript Framework Components" tools.

Some of the features offered by CSS Blocks are:

• One CSS File Per Component
• Scoped Styles
• Nearly Non-Existent Runtime

On the other hand, Vue CLI provides the following key features:

• Feature Rich - Out-of-the-box support for Babel, TypeScript, ESLint, PostCSS, PWA, Unit Testing & End-to-end Testing.
• Extensible
• No Need to Eject

CSS Blocks and Vue CLI are both open source tools. It seems that Vue CLI with 23K GitHub stars and 4.07K forks on GitHub has more adoption than CSS Blocks with 6.1K GitHub stars and 147 GitHub forks.
