I haven't used React since before hooks were introduced but I switched to Svelte a couple of months ago and now I find the cognitive load of using React totally unnecessary. Even more now with hooks.

In Svelte you never think about these or other considerations (eg: useMemo). Just update some state and that's it. Svelte will render consistently faster than React, with less code to write (and maintain).

It's true with React you get a bit more flexibility but I have yet to find a situation that cannot be solved with Svelte.
