Didn't downvote either. Almost consider upvoting for visibility of the hilarity displayed.

"There are too many frameworks! Why does everyone keep re-inventing the wheel? Why can't everyone just use the one that I like?"

I never asked anyone not to use svelte... I said why should I be compelled to learn this new language, other than it being the hot new UI framework of the day.

It doesn't have a virtual DOM? It doesn't have synthetic events? Ok why not just use web components which provide their own encapsulation and vanilla JS. I don't have to learn a new language which may or may not be around/supported a few years from now... Also I'm continuing to grok web standards.

You’re right, you don’t have to! Who is forcing you to?

Rich Harris is going to work for Vercel, who are arguably most famous for Next.js, which is… React.
