Part of my issue with Svelte is how it doesn’t feel SIMPLE.

I made a few single page apps with pure javascript and they feel much simpler than what would be the Svelte equivalent.

I prefer a few concepts that can be built up to form something complex rather than a bunch of pre-built component parts that can be used in various predetermined ways.

In short, maybe I just don’t like “frameworks” 😂

What about Vue?

The Options API felt more intuitive than the new Composition API.

UI Frameworks seem to be converging in a way that I’m not really a fan of

I worked with options API throughout v2, but with v3 the composition is easier to deal with. I like the setup script as well. I'm by no mean a frontend dev, I just want to get some good looking ui with least amount of work, still allow proper devs to take over at some point.

I used Vue as jquery replacement also to get some reactivity and events handling in single html files.
