A look at npmtrends.com shows that the number of weekly downloads of the @vueuse/core package has been increasing steadily since the library was released two years ago and has now exceeded 400,000. For comparison, Vue is currently around 3.5 million. Other metrics that speak in favor of the library are over 13,000 GitHub stars and the good ratio of open to closed issues on GitHub.
