What´s the big advantage of Svelte in comparison to React?

You're welcome to investigate, but in a nutshell it runs much faster, its bundle is much smaller, it can be learned in one day if you already know a state-driven framework (all of it, no kidding), comes with scoped CSS, animations and designed for asynchronous programming.

That sounds really good. I should take a look at it. How comes, that the commonness of React is much higher then?

Svelte was born in 2016 in a digital newspaper (New York Times?), while React was born in 2010, I think, and with silver spoon in its mouth: Daddy was Facebook.

In my opinion, the cure for React useState hell, is to never use React as a state manager for non-UI states.

If that loading state you have is coupled to an API request, that should not be in your component. Same for that boolean state used to hide a section of your amazing form.

Use something else. Even pure JS classes + signals as primitives will be better than coupling any non-UI state to a component.
