My comment is mainly to criticise the article and specifically the original title (You Don't Need to "Learn" Svelte), not to advocate for either Svelte or React. Yes there is a state model that you need to get your head around to work in Svelte just as there is in React and unfortunately, that task isn't made easy by the official documentation. But like I said, I still much prefer Svelte and would choose it over react 99 times out of 100.
