Svelte has everything I need to build websites and apps. The performance, bundle size, and DX combo is unparalleled. All vanilla JS libs are plug-and-play. Building production-ready apps is incredibly fast, and done with less code than any other framework.

Svelte's compiler-first approach really fixes all of my problems with the JS ecosystem. Compile-to-JS langs aren't new, but learning a whole new language has non-0 overhead. HTML, CSS, and JS/TS in a .svelte file is awesome, and the syntactic sugar makes the ugly parts of JS (like state management and reactivity) extremely trivial to implement.

The first class support for Vanilla JS & Typscript is brilliant. Vite and ESBuild are incredibly fast and hassle free. The water has never felt nicer for me as a web dev!

I like Svelte a lot but haven't dived in deep yet. I'm currently waiting for SvelteKit to reach 1.0. What does your general setup look like for something relatively large and complex?

I use Routify for everything- the ecosystem of tools from it's creator Jake already takes care of everything Sveltekit aims to solve.

I have Starter Templates with everything set up the way I usually like it if you want to check them out-
