I enjoyed the great DX from tools like Vite, Docker, and Swagger APIs
So we offloaded CMS duties to WordPress and used Vite for our actual app.
Well Vite is an amazing bundler.
I hate to be that guy, but we don't really use CRA anymore. Even the Facebook devs say to use Vite.
What were you configuring? Starting a Vite project with all those libs takes maybe 5-10 minutes at most?

Astro with Svelte is a good time.
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.
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.
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.
