I originally created https://neovimcraft.com https://neovimcraft.com in Svelte to learn how it works. I found `$:` to be extremely confusing, full of weird quirks, and completely turned me off to using svelte for anything more than basic sites. Runes seem like a clear improvement, but brings Svelte a step closer to React -- which hurts its appeal to me. The difference between `let counter = $state(0)` and `const [counter, setCounter] = useState(0)` is near its initial value -- zero. I do love the view library competitive landscape and enjoy seeing different paradigms leveraging reactivity. I also like the compiler optimizations that Svelte is bringing to the entire ecosystem.
