Discussion on: How I moved from React to Svelte

I manage 3 different teams and I have very interesting observation with regards to that.

So I would say it depends.

On one project I have a team of React developers working on huge Svelte project and the results are great, the team enjoys it and is capable of translating their skills into Svelte. The code base has an amazing simplicity that any newcomer is able to pick it up in no time. There is no component for a specific thing it's so easy to write one.

On another project I have very experienced React team working on React Js and React Native and although it is also going great, but we lived through some serious performance problems and very silly bugs and I think the main issue was the fact that the code is not easy to understand and you can easily loose the track what happens when. Also any bigger package upgrades caused problems while with Svelte we have nearly finished a full blown e-commerce with only 2 dependencies (Tailwind UI and Headless-UI).

My small project is getting a great traction: salarioo.com which I'm hoping it's going to get bigger and feature rich. I will share my experience then!

I encourage you to try if you haven't yet.
