      Honest question: What is/are your problem(s) with Svelte? So far it seems a lot easier to use than react to me but I wouldn’t consider myself experienced so there might be unwelcome surprises waiting.

        It is day and night. Svelte is nearly vanilla JS/TS. No quirks and surprising side-effects like in React. No shadow DOM. With the new rune system in the next version it will even be better. For me it had the best DX of all frameworks I tried.

        I suppose OP is frustrated because the business world hasn’t catched up and most of them still only search for React devs, which is in my opinion very stupid, because React can be so frustrating for devs. The reddit sub for svelte has ever so often posts by them praising the sanity of Svelte.

        But it would be a valid point by OP if that is their reason when their income depends on it. We can only hope Svelte catches up in that regard.

          React is miles ahead of a bunch of much older frameworks businesses still use. I have projects being built new right now that use ui5 from sap. We have projects with spring boot with the templates in jsp.

          I would much prefer a react project to ui5 or jsp. And businesses with long running projects tend not to like using frameworks that don’t have at least ten years of usage and thus some proven surviveability unfortunately.
