That argument stands true for most frameworks on most platforms. I prefer the dollar sign; it's pervasive and concise.

I disagree. There's nothing about React, Vue or any other framework that I'm aware of that does anything similar to jQuery's dollar sign. The only magically-looking abstraction I can think of is JSX, and that's not only not mandatory but very obviously something that's off the curve. Unlike the dollar sign, which just looks like a special construct of the language.

Svelte uses the dollar sign. https://svelte.dev/tutorial/reactive-declarations

Wow, that looks weird. Thank you, I hadn't heard of Svelte before.

No one blames you for not knowing about the 18275th javascript framework.
