I slightly disagree here. I think the author of Svelte, Rich Harris, very liked jQuery because it had (nearly) everything included, and made Web development easy: everything was documented in one place, the jQuery API docs.
I think Svelte tends to get to this point, he already included a store and transitions. A router might be included at some point, if it doesn’t conflict with Sapper.

At the end, what you don’t use is not included in the bundler, so it a win/win for the developer and the end user!

We'll just have to see how Svelte develops then :)

Good 😄 , So you mean In Angular and React what we don’t use is included in the bundle.js file ?

Think you misunderstood, everyone is using tree-shaking.. What I think he meant was that Svelte will probably move in a direction where it becomes more of an app framework than a library, all critical parts should be there.
