lmao as if they didn't have to completely re-invent itself from scratch using hooks because it's design and performance were utter garbage. It wasn't until Svelte and SolidJS showed how bad Vue and Svelte were performance-wise for both of them to fix some of their glaring flaws.
> sea of "me too" frameworks
This couldn't be farther from the truth - those frameworks are completely different. Svelte and SolidJS looked at React and Vue and said "this can be done without a virtual DOM", and they did so...and absolutely obliterated them in terms of performance.
