First, there is just way less code. The code that's there is easier to read. And once you understand the reactivity model you can pretty easily model the system in your mind. Also, I barely have to add dependencies - it feels very complete and empowering.

What‘s it about Svelte that makes it feel flowing to you?

Yeah, the composition api in Vue is way better but I still struggle with it.  We built our newest product at work that way and it’s fine but I’d make a different decision now if I had to do it again.

In the past week I used React, Vue, and Svelte to author code at work. Svelte just feels effortless compared to the others.

Right, I feel like since the inception of Vue‘s Composition API and <script setup> I write less boilerplate, but haven‘t tried Svelte in depth – someting for the next weekend project :)

I used to love React and JSX(and still am in awe of them) but now I’m feeling that might have been a little bit of Stockholm Syndrome.

Svelte’s ergonomics didn’t feel like a good fit for me when I went through the docs. But I should probably try it out on a project because I keep hearing this.
