Svelteâs ecosystem is huge because itâs trivial to adapt vanilla JavaScript things. (Itâs about to become even easier when Svelte 5 drops this April!) In React, everything has to be wrapped or rewritten in terms of React providers and hooks â itâs practically a different programming language.

Any chance the reasons svelte crew loves svelte so much is because theyâre adopting it after learning lots and lots of stuff they maybe take for granted (ie gained experience) while working in other ecosystems, and are just better, more well-rounded engineers today compared to when they started writing react?

I have zero beef with svelte - actually dig it. Iâve loved every framework Iâve worked with more than the last, but backbone wasnât all that bad - Iâve just grown đ€·

Speaking for myself, I learned vanilla HTML/CSS/JS first, then Svelte, then React (for my first real job). Svelte just felt natural as a superset of the native web standards. I was appalled at how much React deviated from those norms, and the extensive boilerplate / tooling it took to accomplish the same basic tasks.

I learned React before JavaScript kind of haha. I have the feeling that if I had learned Svelte first I'd be hating React đ . But I really like JSX more than templates tbh, therefore my inclination to Solid. Still Svelte is so good man. Performance and DX is the key driver I guess.
