v-if and v-else are not native html attributes either. Control flow via HTML tags has always felt like a code smell and been a major turn off to me.

I tend to agree with this, I prefer the way Svelte make the not HTML/JS/CSS bits really stand out but it's definately just a personal preference. I don't really care about the "it's not JS" argument, people are happy to use typescript without that compaint so it feels rather arbitrary.
