As a long time vue user and Svelte convert, I absolutely love it. Much nicer to use, than any other framework I tried.
React in combination with something like styled system and tailwind, as well as a huge array of react specific libraries (eg. react-query, react-hook-form, downshift, etc.) make it tough to move to other ecosystems where those things need analogues, which are often less battle-tested.
I think it's okay for now do give svelte a try, but to stick with react for serious projects.
I was hoping for a justification for invoking the cybernetic part of the title but no such luck. Like is there an attenuating feedback loop involved with the vdom or something?
> We've also changed our tagline, from 'The magical disappearing UI framework' to 'Cybernetically enhanced web apps'. Svelte has many aspects — outstanding performance, small bundles, accessibility, built-in style encapsulation, declarative transitions, ease of use, the fact that it's a compiler, etc — that focusing on any one of them feels like an injustice to the others. 'Cybernetically enhanced' is designed to instead evoke Svelte's overarching philosophy that our tools should work as intelligent extensions of ourselves — hopefully with a retro, William Gibson-esque twist.
I love Svelte.
