How does this scale to anything remotely complex?

I've found that if you have a decent knowledge of React it's hard to make anything slow with it.

Nothing beats vanilla JS in terms of DOM manipulation speed.

And Svelte is fast. It's as fast or faster than React in most synthetic benchmarks.

For how and why, see https://svelte.dev/blog/virtual-dom-is-pure-overhead (notably the intelligent compilation step which removes need for vdom)
