But didn’t Vue come before React? And it’s mostly the same from what I understand, it’s not totally different like Svelte. I think it can change, if more people put it on their resumes and LinkedIn and if those that know React say can do things in 1/3 the time with Svelte and mention that in interviews as well. That is a slow way of evangelism for Svelte that can spread.


No, react came first. And Vue is not the same. Vue 3 added reactivity via refs (which are essentially signals by today's terminology). They can be used outside of components, like Svelte's runes. Svelte 5 is very similar to Vue 3. So much so I jokingly called it "svuelte" when they first announced it.

Vue gets unfairly overlooked imo. I worked with it for 12 months and it was mostly a joy


I'm only familiar with Angular so far, but looking for a more enjoyable framework for personal projects. I'm having a hard time deciding between Vue and Svelte. Vue seems to be better supported by component vendors (PrimeVue, DevExtreme), but Svelte looks better from a framework perspective itself.


Looking at the docs, Svelte is a mix of React and Vue, IMO.

They reverted from the `on` syntax while adding in signals like Vue's `ref`. The way the props pass down is more akin to React than Vue, but the overall reactivity system feels the same as Vue.

I'm not sure I'd pick it over either Vue or React.


React has already been chosen. The familiar hammer. Face it, there is an entire workforce worth of devs who think web development is React (and now they are moving into management). The same way droves of people think Facebook is the internet.
