Having used Svelte for a couple of projects [1][2], I love it. Compared to my day job working in react/redux, it is much simpler, and feels like it has far less boilerplate.

There are certainly a few rough edges, but it's all related to the immaturity of the language. Specifically, I had a hard time understanding transitions and it wasn't at all obvious how to integrate it with D3. Hopefully as it grows we will see improved docs and examples.

Also, I'm holding out for more mainstream TypeScript support. At that point, it would be hard to convince me to use anything else.

FWIW, our new Redux Toolkit package is specifically designed to eliminate the typical "boilerplate" concerns when using Redux:

I do use Redux Toolkit, but it really can't compare to Svelte. There are so many moving parts in a Redux app that there's only so far it can be simplified
