I had some experience with jquery before angularjs (v1) then react and then vue. I like vue is simple to start, like jquery. You could activate a button or a form without unnecesary complexity. For more complexity, vue scales very good as you require. With more experience you could make apps like with react. May be react is like a good car, more expensive to start and drive. Vue could be like a car too, but also like a motorcycle, or a bike. You can use it without transpiling or packing, for easy flow in prototyping ideas, or with webpack, for production versions, as you require.
