The biggest svelte complaint I see is that there aren’t enough libraries. That’s because it is trivial to built things with svelte. And as a UI engineer you should know how to build, not just npm install some-shit

I dev in svelte/kit full time. I’ve built a ton of projects with it after doing corporate react stuff for a couple years. I’m so tired of hearing people say “well the ecosystem for react is stronger because of how many libraries there are.”
No, that’s not a good sign for a framework. If you need an enormous ecosystem of helpers to get anything done, that’s a detriment. Svelte doesn’t have libraries because it doesn’t need them. Kit comes with tons of out of the box features, and there’s nothing I can’t achieve with either:
1. My own JavaScript code.
2. An NPM package IF need be.
Seriously. Svelte has everything react has, with a much better developer experience. It’s the evolution of vanilla web, and even if I got canned tomorrow, I would search until I found another job with either stack freedom or svelte as it’s framework.
