I love svelte too, but I would argue that the way svelte extends JavaScript by making reactivity a language primitive pushes svelte beyond "the old web, just better".

    "It takes all the lessons from the last decade and a half and distills them into familiar web development patterns."

That includes reactivity and state management—two concepts that weren't adequately covered by the old web.
