I suppose I will be in the minority but I will take a good long break from doing corporate projects with Vue Pro (or semi-Pro) until a few more patches come out. I've had the misfortune of committing to some projects that I've paid for dearly in terms of numerous hours devising workarounds. Several of those workaround attempts resulted in lost work because no solution could be found within the timeline and I'd have to give anothre excuse to management. A real creativity-stifler.
It's definitely one of those Jekyll/Hyde things - when it works, it's great, but when things go wrong, it's like you stepped on an ant hill and all the bugs come streaming out.
I've installed Vue on 5 different XP/Win 2000 machines, trying to find something that worked, all to no avail. In my experience, Vue is good if you have the time, patience and skill to deal with a lot of inconsistencies, because there are huge payoffs to be had, but under tight production schedules, I could not recommend it.
I look at the videos from Phoule and others and I always wonder to myself how many workarounds, compromises and crashes they had to deal with in creating something that awesome. They get me inspired to try one more time, but unfortunately, it doesn't take long for me to run into a bug. The only thing that's kept my sanity is this forum and the quick responses from the many helpful members.
