Dan Abramov's favourite UI is apparently spotify, I think it shows in the things react seems to be designed for.
I dropped the word "literally" from my original comment as I didn't think before I wrote (classic), now I think it's a fair comment.
I mean I don’t personally care about the semantics that much as much as the business results. The commenter said react isn’t a good choice and that was my disagreement.
And Spotify isn’t exactly a “tough” UI compared to something data intensive.
As for spotify, that was also the point I was trying to make i.e. React was made so facebook can ~~poison the minds of the youth~~ help people share stories, Svelte being made by someone who did dataviz for NYT really shows.
Should say at this point that despite my love of Svelte in principal I still would actually probably build an app that used a react-like framework to glue svelte components together as I'm not a huge fan of a lot of the aspects of svelte that have scope wider than a component.
