I see this opinion all around and don't get it at all.
One of the best features of Vue for me is single-file-components, which of course necessitate a bundler.
The "full build" option that allows templating at runtime seems like cruft that I would rather development time wasn't spent oh.
To me is more about the learning phase (from a beginner perspective). You can play around with Vue even if you don't know anything about bundlers. If the learning experience is pleasant then people will be encourage to dig deeper. Eventually they will get to the "advance" stuff, but hopefully they get there with enough confidence in their knowledge and see it as "just another step".
I guess this can help adoption when someone is really just using notepad and a browser.
But for me the best way to "try a framework" was always git clone framework-start-example test or pnpx framework-cli init test
followed by cd test && pnpm i && pnpm run dev with hot reloading and stuff.
That's my jam. Replace notepad with Sublime text and you basically described my development environment when I started learning. It would be awesome if I could work just using those two.
Now that I think about it, it is sad that CLI tools and boilerplate code is the "new normal" when you create client side javascript.
Anyway, when trying anything javascript related my favorite way is using codepen (the notepad of javascript online editors).

I don't find it sad at all. It's a huge relief for me.
How do you feel about codesandbox.io?
