Pros
- Astro with Svelte is a good time.

- sveltes magic is in the compiler. way less boilerplate, reactive by default. but smaller ecosystem means you might be building stuff from scratch more often.
- I really don’t understand why you’d ever use React over Svelte on a new project.
- Personally I was just interested in how they used Svelte, it's been my new fav framework for a while now.
Cons
- HTMX is good when you *don't actually need* a full-blown SPA. It's not just for "simple projects", it is built around a different philosophy than things like React/Vue/Svelte.
- Parent context: I’m learning React at the moment and honestly, I wish I started with it instead of Vue and Svelte.. why? Because I’m finding it incredibly tedious.
- I'm going to try Svelte on my next project, and I'm sure I'll find stuff to complain about there as well after a honeymoon period

I've been using Svelte since 2019 and so happy about it. One thing people don't understand when it comes to "ecosystem" is another one of those React-things. "Advantages" in a context where an advantage was never needed in the first place doesn't count. React might have a bigger ecosystem, but Svelte doesn't need it. This is because there's so little boilerplate for anything you need, it only takes a few minutes to essentially make your own.

So it is almost always a good idea to use Vue/React/Svelte/Angular or your framework of choice from the beginning.
Also know VUE and have played a bit with Svelte.
Parent context: 100% agree on Svelte being a better option for building (it's lightyears ahead of React IMO), but be warned - if you're looking for existing Svelte projects to work on, or teams hiring for Svelte... good luck.

more modern alternatives like Solid, Svelte, Vue are objectively better IMO.
