what about preact? Preact is lightweight and it's very much like react.
there is SolidJS too which is similar to react but acts as a compiler no VDOM

Preact is not technically a fork, it's a lightweight alternative that has almost the same functionality as React.

The only thing that stops me from using Preact and SolidJS is the JSX.

Svelte lets you write clean markup and syntax.

But JSX is pretty awesome. I personally like it very much, and react has a huge community support. Svelte is also good, I didn't checked it till now, I will check it.

I had enough nightmares with Angular and React (esp. with markup inside JS, which is ugly according to me). I tried liking Vue it is still great and better than Angular and React but with svelte's approach with the easy syntax and very very little learning curve.

PS. Welcome to svelte, we have a great discord too ;).

Svelte has batteries included, comes with stores and animations.

svelte.dev/examples this is a good starting point.

I did write a fun article here
