As a Svelte developer working with React at $DAYJOB I must say it is the most horrific kludge of terrible abstractions I’ve ever had to suffer through in my life. The sheer number of hoops you have to jump through to do literally anything is comically absurd, and even the nicest way of doing things is a dumpster fire of bad programming patterns. The worst part is, React devs are blind to just how much of their day is spent solving problems that are created solely by React itself, unrelated to any business logic or actual value.

One day my dream is to delete 75% of the code, sprinkle some svelte into the business logic, and be left with a strictly superior, more performant version of the platform.
