I'm tired of HN complaining about react for dumb reasons. To be clear, performance and bundle size matters for some things - if that's your complaint, whatever, i have no issue. My issue is there are whole host of use cases for which React is perfect, it has a functional declarative style which favours human understanding and correctness. This is a good thing. This is what the core of modern React gives you with functional components and hooks. You can do a lot with the core these days. Svelte and Vue are inferior for all the reasons React is functional and those other choices are imperative. I could go on but stop trying to make Svelte a thing, no one is buying.
