I don't think the issue here is solely the RFC, it's the way the Vue team communicates these changes to the community and responds to criticism from people. The way I have seen the Vue team interact with the community and criticism, it's not a good look in my opinion.
Just look at that RFC, people are worried and confused, and I don't think Evan is doing a very good job quelling the fire, to be honest.
One of the biggest reasons people either choose Vue over React or move to it from React was the fact it's cognitively a lot simpler. React gets messy and complex once you start building large apps with it.
All people see with this new RFC is the Vue team making more work for developers and introducing code changes that make Vue look more like React.
Coupled with the fact Evan has been showing a demo of v3 (a secretive prototype not publicly available) and some impressive benchmark numbers, but it seems to me that Vue 3 is nowhere near done and won't be done in 2019.
There seems to be a lot of uncertainty, and the perception to me is they're stuck between a rock and a hard place. They don't know how Vue 3 will look, they want to improve it, but at the same time, they're being held back by their own success (see Angular 1.x).
It raises the question many others are asking: why Vue 3 instead of React?

Maybe the best comment yet. EXACTLY
