I love Svelte and SvelteKit but if you're just interested in building your app, please pick something else for now. It's still constantly changing and while it's good it's being developed rapidly, it's definitely not something you want to spend your limited time on migrating while you could just be productive with say React.

Okay sure, they have had big breaking changes in-between major versions as well, but before SvelteKit hits v1.0 you're better off using something more stable. Later you can certainly choose to migrate as the core logic probably is not that complex. If you're using rich-text editing capabilities however, React is more supported.

This is definitely worth noting. SveleteKit is probably close to 1.0, but the current versioning strategy is incrementing one number, and those changes are always expected to be breaking (even if they aren’t frequently breaking).

That said, if you start working on a given pre-release and only upgrade to 1.0, the migration shouldn’t be too painful.

do note that sveltekit just entered a release candidate phase 2 days ago https://twitter.com/geoffrich_/status/1568264897905164289?s=...

meaning close to 1.0 and no further breaking changes expected

SvelteKit 1.0.0 has a release candidate since Friday. There have been many breaking changes leading up to that, but we’re past those now so this is an excellent time to start using it.

SvelteKit has indeed undergone a bunch of changes (and like others mentioned is now in the RC phase), but I just wanted to mention that Svelte itself has been very stable since v3 came out a few years ago.

Lets keep Svelte and SvelteKit straight! Kit is still changing, but Svelte is extremely stable and usable in prod.
