You know I've fallen in love with Svelte (specifically Sveltekit). I would strongly recommend giving it a shot.
I'm an experienced React dev and thought I'd try something new for a side project. I tried and liked SolidJS (and agree with a lot of the positive comments here) and Ryan seems super knowledgeably about everything front end. (It was a close second).
However I wanted to give Sveltekit a shot as it's so different to React (and SolidJS is not).
For me it seems to put me back to those good olde days (insert rose tinted glasses and violin music), where web dev was just html, css and js/jquery (yes, it was hard for it not to turn into spaghetti). However I coded like I was being chased by demons and loved every minute of it.
I don't get that with React. Having to fix stupid race conditions and constant rendering glitches gets to become grating.
Sveltekit (with it's signals approach, like SolidJS) sort of puts me back there. It's all just html, css (or tailwind), simple js and event driven.
You set up some state at the top <script> block and have loaders/actions (superforms is great) in external files. To me it all seems super intuitive.
