Yeah, but a simple templating system is tedious when you need interactivity or certain types of DOM manipulation based on data.
For example, right now I'm working on a form with dropdowns that filter the next dropdown and with Vue I can do that with very concise code which is simple and easy to reason about.
With Mustache or jQuery it would be tedious. I'd need functions for every little change of the DOM and multiple event listeners and its handlers.
Data-binding is great for this kind of data driven stuff. Not so great for other use cases. Last week I was working on a drag and drop solution with React and it was a pain to figure out how to do it.
