alt Hacker NewsI still like Svelte, but to me SvelteKit has taken up too much of its mind/devshare. Svelte itself is fantastic, especially as a Vue guy I love the "new" reactivity system/runes, but SvelteKit for me is horrible. It's just a hodgepodge of over engineered crap to cater to React/Next devs, and the Svelte team has also been hell bent on horrible decisions like the abomination that is routing[1] in SvelteKit.
To me Kit is the antithesis of what made Svelte so attractive to me originally. Svelte was dead simple and intuitive to use, Kit is anything but.
The router is really baffling, agreed. Magic file names make me so frustrated, and even more so when they all start with the same prefix so all my editor tabs look the same. I wish they’d just make a simple single file router that works the same as every other one. There are a lot of things that aren’t perfect in Vue, which I primarily work on, but the router isn’t one of the things that bothers me. It mostly just works.
