Oh god no! My point is simply the the barrier to entry isn't black and white, it's a thing that needs to be weighed against the benefits. React doesn't sound like an insurmountable barrier (I've played with it) , but Vue sounds awesome. Of course React sounded awesome coming from Angular so maybe that's clouded by grass is greener thinking.

I wanted to point again out again though that Calypso is/was a totally different beast, and really shouldn't factor here. I totally understand using React for Calypso, it's an app. Vue does however seem a better fit WP core. Again barely groking this stuff just on the surface Vue does seem more with keeping with WP's paradigms.
