It's great to see more frameworks and tools eschew the assumption that a virtual DOM is an automatic improvement.

However, in this example, I honestly don't understand why you wouldn't just use StimulusJS. Further, the claim that a Svelte template is just HTML is demonstrably inaccurate; after all, if that were the case, you wouldn't need to pre-process them.

Most of the people evaluating Svelte would be better served by Stimulus. It's powering some of the most powerful sites on the web, and the people behind it are the same folks that do Rails and Turbolinks. #winning
