Just go with Remix of you don't want to use Next, is more reliable than Blitz.

SvelteKit is way too good- anything React based feels like too much of a downgrade.

I'm not familiar with SvelteKit.

Can you provide more details about this? In what way is it a downgrade?

I played around with Next.js and SvelteKit. I don't recall the specific "that's a down/upgrade" but I switched to SvelteKit because "it just works". HMR, more or less plain HTML, (Tailwind) CSS and JS. Developing with Svelte(Kit) feels, and probably is faster than NextJS/React.

The only downside are missing UI libraries like RadixUI. Tried out everything and just "wasted" 2 weeks to build a component library on top of TailwindCSS inspired by Material UI.

SvelteKit comes navigation, sane state management, optional Server Side Rendering, Hot Module Reloading and super-fast pipeline with Vite. And some extra goodies like built-in animation utilities, debouncing, auto-prefetch links on hover, etc...

Its reactivity features are simpler.

And it is much more performant on the browser.

Plus React has steeper learning curve.

Then you'd have to use Svelte which not many organizations will, as React is more mature and Svelte is newer. Perhaps in a few years that will change but IMO moving to SvelteKit is orthogonal, most who are currently using React will want to continue using React based frameworks.

What reliability issues did you have with Blitz?
