I also can’t get along with SvelteKit.

Astro + Svelte seems nice enough if you need it but for most of what I do, plain Svelte 5 is great.

I also use Astro + Svelte. It's nice but I wouldn't say it's less complex than sveltekit. But I just like being able to introduce dynamic components and server side functionality gradually into a base static site.
