I see. It sounded like you really wanted out of React, but seems that 2 issues get in your way: You don't wish to put an extra effort, even if it is a one-time thing (i. e. create a component library for your preferred technology that can be reused many times), and your preferred technology is not popular at all.

My advice under these circumstances would be: If you have the time, contribute to the greater good of your favorite technology. Do open-source. Give back to the community since the community (albeit of a different technology) has had your back for years.

Yes, it does bring me joy to program. I spent today creating the POC of a router library for Svelte v5. The most satisfactory part is its intellisense around the route parameters:

Intellisense Sampe

Just by typing the path prop, TypeScript will infer the parameter names. Definitely satisfactory.

If you, reader, are interested in this router, wait a week or so. I have only finished the POC. Monitor the repositories of the WJSoftware organization. It will appear there.

It was less about wanting out of React versus my natural inclination to chase shiny object. It cost me too much time so I'm sticking w/ React for now. I gets the job done. As an aside -- open-source is not exclusive to non-React projects and/or you're assuming I haven't open sourced anything.

Well, with your "I have better things to do than give my time away to a bunch of unknowns out there for free" attitude, one is inclined to think that, but please, by all means, correct me. Show me the marvels you have contributed.

It's just a job. I'll contribute to it so long IT wants it. I'll have no issues going elsewhere when the time comes. Don't think I have any sentiments towards the company I work for, since no company has ever had any feelings for me or any other employee.

Truth has been spoken.
