Is setup() without build step being deprecated?

[amplexdenmark]

Hello

In our setup, we much prefer the "raw" .js files over "proprietary" formats like .sfc, exactly because they do not require a build step.

This way, what one sees in the editor is exactly what goes to the browser, and there is no need to teach tooling/syntax coloring etc. about yet another specialised file format.

However, it seems that this style of working is slowly going down the drain🤔 For example, the new defineModel() macro for v-model does not describe the 'setup()' way at all. Just a vague (and collapsed) "Pre 3.4" paragraph.

Also, the documentation states that SFC files are "recommended", but does not (yet?) say that no-build-step workflows are "deprecated".

I think Vue overall is awesome (and thanks!), but what to expect?

Thanks in advance
