Would a rewrite be something nice ?

Hi everyone!

I was wondering if a frontend rewrite with a more modern tool like vue would be likeable.
I assume that elm was chosen for performance, but I don't think that frontend performance will be that bad on vue.
My take is that while on the backend looking for a 4ms performance tweak is useful. Frontend performance can be worse if it helps to get more feature done faster and a better UI.

I've had a look at #412, it's an effortless PR on Vue but looks complicated to me on ELM. But should significantly improve the user experience. And that's just one of many such issues.

So to summarise a bit I have 3 questions: Is it mandatory to use Elm? Would you like a rewrite in a language with a better DX and a lower learning curve? And if so, why?

Thank you very much !
