Svelte doesn't have browser devtools
Anybody who worked with Big 3 frameworks knows how easy it gets with DevTools. A lot of criticism Svelte had was due to lack of DevTools. No more console.log!

I loved Svelte, but I loved TypeScript more. So I had to go with another front-end framework. Now I don't have to. When I get time I will immediately try Svelte again. Thanks for the info!
