Svelte is a better experience IMO. Faster and doesn't require manual hacks to gain a 0.005% speed improvement.

The biggest pro to choosing the likes of Svelte (or Vue, htmx, long list of newer frameworks that have learned from React/Angular's shortcomings) is how few footguns there are.

That's really the big thing. I know everyone loves to believe they're masterclass programmers and falling for such traps is beneath them, but after seeing some of these masterclass programmer's react repos... it's very clear why the react docs is filled with many disclaimers and notes (which kudos to the react team for phenomenal docs).

If it's only a 0.005% speed improvement the manual hacks probably aren't required :P
