I picked up Svelte to build my first non-trivial app, which is flying navigation aid for hot air balloon pilots[1].
Svelte is much, much easier to grasp than React or Vue, especially when it comes to state management. I like that it’s super lean and it never confuses me what’s native Javascript and what’s the framework (pretty important for a non-developer me). And I love not having to write huge amounts of boilerplate code.
Reactivity sometimes gets more complicated than advertised on docs. For example, I have a bunch of functions where I manipulate an object and need to reassign it to itself (feature = feature) to trigger refresh on reactivity block. Sometimes it’s easy to miss and not know why reactive statements are not being updated.
Also, docs are pretty barebones. For comparison, I think Vue docs are explaining details in better and clearer way.
