This guide gives an excellent comparison of Vue to other frameworks: https://vuejs.org/v2/guide/comparison.html

I would add the following points from my experience with Vue:

Vue is incredibly easy to learn. The usual claim with React is "productive in under a week", while I find that with Vue, most JS engineers can be productive in a few hours. Especially for engineers coming from a background in Angular, Mustache, Handlebars, etc. the templating in Vue is very easy to understand.

The documentation for Vue is excellent, some of the best documentation I have ever worked with: https://vuejs.org/v2/guide/

It has the advantage that it's not beholden to the whims of a large company like React is with Facebook or like Angular is with Google, given that its development is funded by a Patreon campaign: https://www.patreon.com/evanyou

Additionally, Vue is not encumbered by the patent questions around React: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11270213

I don't anticipate Vue crumbling under its own weight. Vue is developed by Evan You, who has already shown his ability to learn from Vue 1 and iterate on that with a lean and organized Vue 2. My main criticism of Vue would be that its ecosystem is not as strong as React's at this point, as you have pointed out.
