Re-read my comment. I was not talking about app performance, though Svelte is indeed lighter and faster for various reasons.

I made the analogy to assembly vs C. It's not about raw speed. Many APIs and (frankly) hacks have been added to React that developers have learned over the course of years. APIs and hacks that simply aren't necessary for Svelte.

I totally agree that the community behind React is absolutely massive. If you want a component for something, chances are someone has made it already. That is a huge advantage. However while the odds are good, the goods are often odd.

When the dev environment is simpler, making the component isn't such a burden. When the code is simpler, maintenance and improvement are easier.

Today, React may be the better choice in many circumstances, and that's fine. However moving forward, expect to see more cases where there's a better option. Because let's face it, Svelte is simply better architecturally. React may be more popular, but you can't argue its foundation is somehow more sound.

I agree that Svelte/SolidJS has overall better architecture.

I don't agree that they will match React's community and environment in the near future, if at all.
