I went with Svelte because I heard a lot of React devs usually like Svelte better than React. Svelte was my first JS framework, and it was a pretty good experience overall.

Svelte’s simplicity and blazing-fast rendering have transformed our billing dashboards, enabling us to ship complex, polished UIs in record time while keeping our dev cycle agile.

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. Bandar Bola

I'm building everything with it these days and whenever I have a pain point, a quick search reveals that there is an elegant solution already baked into the framework itself. Just top-notch modern web!

Svelte is easier than the others, faster than the others and compiles to a single lightweight and efficient javascript file. Svelte is free of virtual dom, heavy libraries, slow performace and complicated verbose code. I love it!

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