React for 2/3 years, Vue for 1 year building large SASS apps. I use Svelte for my personal site and really enjoyed it, but dismissed it as a contender for my companies latest application. It's community is still too young, there's not enough established, battle-tested libraries for common tasks like routing. It reminds me of React in the early days, I felt overwhelmed with choice and a constant feeling the 3rd party library you are about to go all in with will be shortly replaced with a better, community backed alternative.
I'd love to re-visit that in a couple of years time when it's popularity and community has risen and is more established. Just as React did.

It's doesn't matter if Svelte is technically superior in ways until it's been battle tested and has wide support. Otherwise you'll be spending far too much time on things that other people have long ago solved in other frameworks.
