I switched to React when jQuery (and particularly storing state in the DOM and lots of custom events called) became a PITA.
I don't feel that React has reached that tipped point yet, but when it does I'm hoping we'll all move to Sveltekit or something like it.
- mattgreenrocks 3y agoI despise almost every single web framework written in the last decade. They always feel like byzantine monoliths of complexity built from tons of layers over existing libraries. They invent tons of concepts, always require patching, and have an army of sycophants who believe building a web framework is basically rocket science and only a select few are ever capable of such a feat. SvelteKit is the first piece of web tech that I actually enjoy using. It’s the rare piece of tech that knows its lane, stays in it, and excels at it. It is marked by fewer features that work well together vs lots of features that sort of work well together. You can read the docs in an hour or two and then start to get an understanding of what it’s doing. Basically, it feels like it was made by someone who really understands the medium, thought deeply about how to distill that, and iterated to improve on it. (I get same vibes from Vue, but don’t have much experience there)
- paulddraper 3y agoI remember when HN said that about React. Lololol
- mattgreenrocks 3y agoTotally fair comment. Time will tell. Edit: I'm just happy to find something that I like to make web stuff in. Now I can make some apps and actually enjoy the process.
