my framework of choice is aurelia. it is probably as fully featured as vue, but at a glance its templating and minimal need for glue code makes it look more similar to dagger.js than vue, to the point that i think it should be easy to convert from aurelia to dagger.js and back.

like vue, by default aurelia uses a build step, but serving it directly from a CDN or your own server is possible. i am actually working on a site that does that right now.

one thing i like about aurelia is that a template and js code are associated by name, so <this-view></this-view> translates to this-view.js: class ThisView {}, this-view.html, this-view.css, so they all form one unit, and i only need to import the js and specify the class name to load and have everything else defined automatically.

if i read https://daggerjs.org/#/module/introduction correctly, then you treat each of those as independent modules, that need to be specified separately.
