i don't use svelte/kit for technical reasons, but there is no doubt they have the best developer experience of all the js frameworks, it's well-considered and coherent. they have the most aura for sure.
Needing bespoke svelte-specific tooling for _everything_ is pretty annoying when it comes to developer experience IMO. It is just overly custom when you could use something like solid and have similar performance but easy tooling integration due to just being typescript and tsx syntax. Like you can’t use typescript 7 right now in svelte, oxlint / oxfmt doesn’t fully support svelte either among other things like storybook’s mcp server not supporting svelte.

i do think react (without a framework) is the beat option though.
