I used React and NextJS for the past few years and generally liked it - a really solid development and production experience. In the past few months I started seeing people raving about Svelte in their side projects (a lot of those posts were here on DEV!).
I looked into it and was amazed at how simple it looked. It was very easy to understand and removed a lot of the boilerplate code / gotchas I kept running into in React (esp. with data handling and hooks). After playing around with it for a few days, I started migrating my projects over and haven't looked back!
I'm now using Svelte and Sveltekit (even though it's not out of beta!) and have been enjoying the benefits.
I've started using Svelte for frontend.

I wrote Svelte is better than React with more of my thoughts on the comparisons and why I made the jump.
