Some interesting comments came out of both camps - the tests were not totally fair or representative (a typo in the data stream meant that the Vue implementation was doing 10x the amount of work). We're going to rerun the tests with all the recommended changes and update the findings.
It's very easy to make these types of mistakes… easy to be less critical of results that support our desired outcome. That's confirmation bias and it's a common & very human fault.
High levels of maturity & strength are prerequisite for admitting you're wrong in public, these are admirable qualities.
In my eyes, this post gives them more credibility and shows them to be some decent folks.
