Same. I normally prefer boring old tech, but I’ve migrated all my projects over to Sveltekit. Yep, breaking changes are annoying but it’s worth it. It’s got the point where you’d need to pay me lot to work on a Vue or (especially) React project.

Yeah I look at it this way: - Angular introduces structure, people realize that Directives are awesome but dirty checking is bad. - React re-focused frontend on components (to be fair Backbone/Marionette and some MVVM stuff was going this way already but whatever), people realize they really mostly just want big hierarchies of components and to minimize everything else. The Flux data flow pattern is alluring too but kind of unnecessary. - Vue cloned react but improved on it by introducing the data object via automatic tracking and radically simpler APIs. I read up and was productive with Vue in like... 1 day of reading docs. - Svelte builds on all of that, moves more magic into the compiler and introduces weird syntax but thoroughly consistent ergonomics and lower complexity. - Everyone goes SSR For people who want jobs, React is still king and probably will be for a very very long time. But you can pry SvelteKit from my cold dead hands.

      React is quite a bit older now than jquery was when react came out. The react reign is going on for longer than jquery has been.

      Right I totally forgot about JQuery. That too
