Outside of Vue, and maybe Angular, are there any other stable alternatives with a decent ecosystem? I'd love to hop off the React train, but I haven't found anything that compares to the experience of just using create-react-app with Typescript support.

Any thoughts about [Lit](https://lit.dev/ https://lit.dev/)?

  For whatever it is worth this is the one I am betting on.

If you haven't check out ember-cli + ember.js latest Octane release. Full typescript support, thriving community, lots of companies using it, lots of active development.

RiotJS and SvelteJS get mentioned as alternates in my circles. I like Riot - but only done it on smaller projects.

Aside from the bustling ecosystem, Surplus has been around for a long time, consistently beats benchmarks, and is quite lightweight and unopinionated. I've used it for a lot of projects, small and large, quite successfully.

Try solid.js [1] I have been using it for a month now and love it. If you are coming from react the API is familiar enough that you can get productive in a day or two. Reliance on observables is a big plus for me (no virtual dom diffing) and the dom reconciliation is very similar to lit. Check out the author's blog posts [2] for more details. If are into jamstack, Astro [3] has good support for solidjs already and offers an easy way for selective hydration of dynamic parts of the UI. The component ecosystem is a bit lacking compared to react/vue, but it pairs well with pure css libraries like bulma/daisyui or webcomponent libraries like ionic/shoelace. And you can also wrap your solid components as web components and use them in a larger app without converting it all to use solidjs.

I remember Ember being solid for a while, but I fell off of the front-end stuff
