Thanks a lot for the feedback. I am starting to get serious about learning the frontend side of things (coming from a backend/DevOps professional background). Especially the part of "React is a hot mess with so many ways to do all the things..." has made me prefer Svelte over React, and I really enjoy Svelte's idiomatic way of handling reactivity, I find it super intuitive. I guess I was just feeling insecure about putting so much time into Svelte, because I mostly only hear about people working with React.
