As far as I know most native web components use direct DOM manipulations over a virtual DOM. So I think the jury is pretty much out on VDOM and we are witnessing it transition to a relic of legacy frameworks. As far as other innovations Svelte has brought, Vue with the <script setup> sugar looks quite similar to Svelte, as well as compiling to a render function (just like Svelte). I’m not super familiar with the intrinsics of Vue but the VDOM is starting to feel like a thin MIR of the framework which could be swapped out in a future major release, rather then something essential to it. I honestly think that 10 years is a very conservative prediction.
