I used to use React a few years ago for all my projects, and a friend recommended I try out Vue, and I rewrote my massive project in less than a quarter of the time. And in the past year I discovered Svelte/Sapper, and I rewrote my app in even less time than that. I guess my real point is React is great, but not for all use cases, and I've come to really love using Sapper for my purposes (small, fast API-driven MVP web apps built by a single person team)

And in the past year I discovered Svelte/Sapper, and I rewrote my app in even less time than that. Shouldn’t rewrites (other than perhaps to something with both an radically different and less powerful basic paradigm) generally take a lot less time than original creation? I mean, it doesn’t sound like this is saying much.

Alternative anecdata: Our team went through some changes and for some odd (inexplicable) reasons we ended up switching from React to Vue. Only one person seems to be happy about the switch and at this point we can't go back very easily. There's about 4 of us that are just kinda barely getting by with vue as we we're pretty proficient React devs. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Writing a new interface feels like days instead of hours for us.
