You absolutely 100% do not have to use Svelte Kit.

Svelte Kit is just the equivalent of (an opinionated) Next.js, Gatsyby, or Nuxt.js framework. Those frameworks are also incredibly opinionated on purpose.

One of the things I came to enjoy regarding React was that the router was separate and kept the core React API small. I had hoped that something similar was the norm for Svelte, but it was quite clear that the official recommendation was to use SvelteKit.

Have you built production apps with just Svelte? Is the tooling and feature set good enough to use Svelte alone in an actual app?
