Out of interest, what are you using instead of Vue?

Svelte.

It reduces the JavaScript sent to each page even further because it doesn't have a runtime per se. Basically each component is "compiled" to a set of imperative DOM instructions with some helper functions.

I wanted to like Svelte so bad, but the lack of tooling made it pretty hard to debug.

Hopefully they will get there one day but so far it gives me the feeling that I could hit a dead-end with it at any time.

It's not perfect but I'm willing to accept all its shortcomings because of everything I get in return.

Sometimes I hit a little bump on the road which would be faster/easier to solve in React/Vue/etc but even including those slowdowns I save so much net dev time it's crazy.
