I LOVE what svelte is doing. I've been using React daily for the last 5 years & it does the job, documentation is world class, community is great, but it still has sharp edges & parts that feel bad. Things like hooks make complicated things look & feel simple, which is great for 80% of my work, but for that other 20% (exit animations, high frequency re-renders, drag-n-drop without HTML5) I do some pretty atrocious things to make it work. This is where svelete shines.The readme does a good job of pointing out its shortcomings, too. Primarily, no typescript support yet & the unknown bundle size inflection point. As soon as these are solved, I can't imagine it not becoming the best (albeit not most popular) solution.
