User reviews

It says it works with Vue 2 but it doesn't.

There is obvious need for this tool - please do care. If the Legacy and Non-Legacy-Version are both installed as Extensions - the only way to differientiate them is via the version in "Manage Extensions" (v6 vs v7) Especially if a Developer maintains and fixes multiple Projects, switching becomes really tough - changing the Extension Name would help a ton. Thx!

Doesn't work anymore, people are still using Vue 2, please fix it
