The announcement on Vercel's side: https://vercel.com/blog/nuxtlabs-joins-vercel

Honestly, this is terrible news. A number of the core team of Nuxt.js are joining Vercel and NuxtLabs itself is acquired by Vercel.

I choose Nuxt.js and Nuxt UI Pro specifically because they aren't Vercel products. I built two SAAS MVPs over the last year based on this, now I'll have to wait and see what Vercel (their competitor) wants to do with it.

Nuxt has always been a strange tool that doesn’t really fit well into any good use case, unless your only experience is Vue and Nuxt.

Hard to see the real reason for Vercel to do this. The pessimist in me wonders if perhaps they are hoping to influence how Vue is developed in the same way they now influence how React is developed after hiring several React team members.

But even that doesn’t seem that likely considering the relatively tiny Vue market share and microscopic still Nuxt market share.

I also consider its “community” to be a strange place too. It’s on Discord, and a couple of years ago common internet abbreviations were considered ban worthy rule-breaking offences.

Even the word “lmao” would get you an instant warning from a bot. The framework itself and its oddball community were enough poor experiences for me to stop using it pretty quickly.
