I tried out Svelte recently. I really like the idea of a 'compiler first' framework which offers useful features that compile away to plain old lightweight JavaScript. I got on ok with the bare-bones Svelte compiler, but I found the surrounding ecosystem to be lacking.

There are two different material design libraries for Svelte. [0][1] I wasn't able to get either of them to behave. It looked like they weren't being kept up to date with Svelte, or else the documentation was inadequate.

I then gave Angular a go, and encountered no such issues. Angular has the added bonus that its material design library [2] is very mature and well polished.
