Why developers don't use svelteKit?

At production level is not very clever to change to a new framework everytime that emerge unless the status quo is far behind.

Even Vue that has more years suffers from the argument: "more packages, the ecosystem is bigger and more jobs"

Svelte is good though, Vercel contracting Harris is a good sign to make it grow as a react/next.js successor or steal some concept from it.

I like svelte but using react and nextjs means I have access to years of already developed and maintained node packages. This cuts cost down and leads to me not re-inventing the wheel.

If it’s for a personal project or something small go with svelte, but choosing it for a production app is a huge risk. Imagine needing to hire additional developers… your pool just shrank to 2% of the market.

I use it 😇

Why people don't use sveltekit?

1. they don't know that svelte exist.
2. they know that svelte exists, but they have more experience in some other thing, like react.
3. There is a cost in chosing a technology that is perceived as immature: it will take longer to solve problems.
4. Sveltekit, last time I used it, had a very simple docs page that helped me to start, but not to solve some deep issue I was having. I had to subscribe to their discord in order to find help.
5. There is literaly nobody around my area that is using svelte I can ask questions or share knowledge.
6. Nobody can guarantee that Svelte will be around, and maintained, for the next +10y.
7. While Svelte has a true competitive advantage over react or vue for the app size and speed, with SSR frameworks there is no advantage left.
8. People are not excited to learn a new thing and usually they just want to get sh*t done

BTW, i like svelte & sveltekit. It's my favourite...
