You absolutely have to be conscious of reactivity and how that stuff works in React as well. This is complexity that you as a dev have to deal with in some way.

Svelte and React makes different tradeoffs in how they expect developers to deal with this.

Personally I think maybe Svelte makes a better tradeoff. I've seen so many people make variables instead of using useState, etc… because that's the kind of thinking they're used to.

In Svelte that would simply work for the simple cases, but you'd have to use $: someVar for the more complex cases. I think requiring having to deal with that complexity only when you need it is a more reasonable way to do it compared to React.
