Svelte maintainers are aware of these kind of questions. I think what you can build with React you can do the same on Svelte (but more enjoyable experience due to Svelte being simple)

React fanboys are going to say their frameworks have better support and countless tools/packages to help building.

But the truth is React is just hard to read and optimize. If you go Svelte with just basic Javascript skills you can easily make fast websites. React force you to learn a bunch of boilerplates and meaningless concepts that make it hard for everyone in the team to read your code.

This is my feeling too. I feel that React is the behemoth of frameworks, but in a bad way. No "mobility" and high costs to achieve anything.

Svelte has really impressed me so far. Some people don't like that Svelte has "repurposed" JavaScript syntax for their own purposes; I say it is brilliant.

Still, I am very interested in other people's experience for the team's sake.
