I've used plain react for a few things in the past few years. I strongly prefer it to next/nuxt/all this other stuff. Preact and an understanding of best practices can make it fairly performant with a more or less drop-in replacement if you're willing to sacrifice compatibility with absolutely all the ecosystem.

I still prefer svelte but it's less mature and universally-known. React is still a pretty good choice if you need something that will more or less work and that anyone can write.

My issue is opposite.

I know svelte/sveltekit and would want to contribute to svelte apps (a good reminder that I should)

But there are some projects that I really really want to contribute to / heck even port to sveltekit like cinny and hedgedoc and the likes and so I almost feel pressured by the system to learn react so that I can finally feel confident enough to understand their repositories as they scare me right now...

Anyone can write svelte. Or solid. Or Angular.

I don’t even want to talk to somebody that defines themselves as a “React” developer. Let alone work with them.

If you know any of these frameworks, and the basics of web development you can work in any of them.

So the hiring part is not an excuse for this.
