I'm not familiar with SvelteKit.

Can you provide more details about this? In what way is it a downgrade?

I played around with Next.js and SvelteKit. I don't recall the specific "that's a down/upgrade" but I switched to SvelteKit because "it just works". HMR, more or less plain HTML, (Tailwind) CSS and JS. Developing with Svelte(Kit) feels, and probably is faster than NextJS/React.

The only downside are missing UI libraries like RadixUI. Tried out everything and just "wasted" 2 weeks to build a component library on top of TailwindCSS inspired by Material UI.

SvelteKit comes navigation, sane state management, optional Server Side Rendering, Hot Module Reloading and super-fast pipeline with Vite. And some extra goodies like built-in animation utilities, debouncing, auto-prefetch links on hover, etc...

Its reactivity features are simpler.

And it is much more performant on the browser.

Plus React has steeper learning curve.
