Yeah so many. To be fair Svelte is still relatively new in the 4th spot. There was a time where Ember was established enough to even be uncontested 3rd spot. What I like about the popular libraries is that Angular, React, Svelte all have a clear identity so it is easy for people to choose between them. There has been clear narrative on the client side of things.

That being said what makes Marko particular interesting is it does things that none of those libraries do. There is some work in 3rd party space for sure, but Marko is built on it to the point it is optimized at the core level. I'm not going to say those features are necesary to make good sites and apps. But given the interest around things like Next, Gatsby, Nuxt, Nest, Sapper, etc.. its interesting when there is a mature library built on these constructs and not where they are patched on as an afterthought.
