If you compared svelte to vue to react, vue is much more like svelte than it is react.
In my limited experience Vue felt more like React than Svelte felt like React. But I only used Svelte for a small personal project, and mostly only used Vue 2 + Nuxt for a couple of client marketing sites, so my experience might not be the best view into each.
What sold me on svelte is the fact that I learned like all of it in maybe 3 hours. I have tried to pick up React here and there and I get the fundamentals but I hate that you need an architecture framework, a router framework etc. Svelte has a standard way of doing that.
