SvelteKit is way too good- anything React based feels like too much of a downgrade.
- uxcolumbo 5y agoI'm not familiar with SvelteKit. Can you provide more details about this? In what way is it a downgrade?
- samuelstros 5y agoI played around with Next.js and SvelteKit. I don't recall the specific "that's a down/upgrade" but I switched to SvelteKit because "it just works". HMR, more or less plain HTML, (Tailwind) CSS and JS. Developing with Svelte(Kit) feels, and probably is faster than NextJS/React. The only downside are missing UI libraries like RadixUI. Tried out everything and just "wasted" 2 weeks to build a component library on top of TailwindCSS inspired by Material UI.
- hu3 5y agoSvelteKit comes navigation, sane state management, optional Server Side Rendering, Hot Module Reloading and super-fast pipeline with Vite. And some extra goodies like built-in animation utilities, debouncing, auto-prefetch links on hover, etc... Its reactivity features are simpler. And it is much more performant on the browser. Plus React has steeper learning curve.
- cercatrova 5y agoThen you'd have to use Svelte which not many organizations will, as React is more mature and Svelte is newer. Perhaps in a few years that will change but IMO moving to SvelteKit is orthogonal, most who are currently using React will want to continue using React based frameworks.
