No one said people weren't allowed to build something with Svelte or whatever, just that they didn't think it was a good way to explore it, and backed that up with reasoning. Additionally, if there were other reasons for doing it, those would be interesting to hear.

I wouldn't get too worked up about this: discussions about which jobs a tool lends itself well to can be very insightful.

It's more that this exact conversation happens on just about every post someone makes using some tech. Someone comes in and claims it's wrong and they should have done x. Was this the best use case for Svelte/any javascript framework? Probably not, but who knows what the OP has planned for the site further, maybe it will be beneficial to have a javascript framework in place.
I guess, and I recognise the frustration, but if they argue why someone has done x, or OP comes in and describes what else they have planned and why Svelte or whatever was a good fit, then that would still be interesting to me.
