As a Svelte user, here are my experiences and opinions about this framework:
🔥 Advantages of Svelte:
✅ No Virtual DOM – Svelte compiles code to vanilla JavaScript at build time, so it's faster and lighter than React or Vue.
✅ Simple & Easy to Read Syntax – Uses a cleaner declarative style than other frameworks.
✅ Simpler Code – No need for as much boilerplate as in React (no complex useState, useEffect, or hooks).
✅ Native Reactive – Live reactivity is supported without the need for additional state management like Redux.
✅ Small Bundle Size – Svelte applications are lighter than Virtual DOM based frameworks.
✅ Easy to Use for Beginners – Clear documentation and syntax similar to standard HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.
👎 Disadvantages of Svelte:
❌ Ecosystem Still Smaller – Compared to React or Vue, the number of libraries and communities is still smaller.
❌ Support from large companies is still minimal – Not as popular as React which is supported by Meta (Facebook).
❌ Less Widely Used on an Enterprise Scale – Some companies are still hesitant to adopt because the number of developers who master Svelte is smaller.
❌ Lack of DevTools – Even though there is a Svelte DevTools, its debugging features are not as powerful as React or Vue DevTools.
🌟 Conclusion:
Svelte is a fast, light, and simple modern framework, perfect for developers who want to create high-performance UIs without the complexity of Virtual DOM. Ideal for small to medium projects, but may require more consideration if used on an enterprise scale.

Svelte is the reason I got back to web development again. It works like my brain and is simple to use.
