Yes! I have been using Svelte on Budibase (https://github.com/Budibase/budibase) for the past year. Although Budibase is not in production yet, its a serious project that we plan to release in the next few months.

I have used React and many others over the years - currently using react in my day job.

I really like Svelte. I would happily choose it over React for any of my own projects. I find Svelte simple and intuitive - it is the easiest framework i've ever used, to get to grips with.

The tooling, resources and no. of 3rd party libraries are way smaller than the bigger hitters, like React - understandably as it is much younger. I have not found this to be an issue at all - theres a VS code extension and a great community and website/docs/examples.

It will obviously be more difficult to find devs with Svelte skills, if you are hiring... but its so easy to pick up, i dont think thats a problem.
