Just keep in mind that mutations have to be synchronous. You can commit directly in components if you (and your team) are sure is there no chance of appearing of something async. In other words, use it with simple and direct operations.

Committing only in actions as a rule adds some clarity and reliability to application's code.

I didn't used Redux, but as far as I know, some state managers have middleware. Using mutations and action (Vuex-way) may cause a difficult maintenance into large applications.

In the future version of Vuex, mutations and actions should be merged into the one entity.
