You make good points but your comment doesnt appeal to me that much. I dont really care about React adding hidden boilerplate for me, as long as it is efficient enough and enables me to work on more productive things. Svelte sounds good, dont get me wrong but the abstractions are there for a reason. We as humans want to minimize complexity and mental overhead having to figure every best practise on our own. Enabling developers to do whatever they want with a framework sounds frankly like a bad idea.
But if svelte can do both, eliminate the boilerplate and at the same time minimize the cognitive burden of having to work with DOM, then im interested. But i rarely have noticed that React makes me angry the way it used to. So do i want to switch, like the stereotypical frontend hipster, to another hype framework and code the next customer app with it? I'll need a lot more convincing first
