Based on your profile and comments, it seems you have some particular grudge against React, so I'm not sure I can convince you of anything React related that you have not already convinced yourself of. Nevertheless, I (nor you, it seems) have not used Svelte 5 yet so I cannot judge, just that based on my, yes, personal experience, 2 way data binding based frameworks create messes. Even though you can shoot yourself in the foot in any language or framework, some are simply better at preventing it, such as C versus Rust, as I analogized.

I’m not expert in Svelte or React and have been following your conversation. You stress the point that two-way data binding creates mess. I tend to agree since I did my share of desktop programming long time ago. However, I don’t see how React solves the problem fundamentally. When you combine React with Redux or hooks IMHO you get exactly the same thing. The big difference is syntax that makes it easier to reason how view would re-render in response to change. But in a large enough project I can see how this became less and less true as distant modification trigger cascades of model updates/reducers/hooks and result in an unexpected behavior.
