Bad is subjective too.

There's new syntax for props, reactivity and state that's slightly more complicated for hello world applications but you really notice the differences for even mildly complicated components.

export let foo;

vs

const {foo} = $props()

looks far worse until your doing something like extending an input and you no longer have to deal with $$RestProps ugliness

type Props = {foo: number} & HTMLInputAttributes

const {foo, ...rest} : Props = $props()

<input {...rest} />
