astro is nearly, if not as, "complex" as react, no?

As person who has been doing “react” since 2016 I would say that it removes so much of the “react” complex BS that I am surprised it is not x100 times more popular.

We’ve recently moved one service from next to Astro and it was just removing a ton of boilerplate and “dance around” code.

That’s how I felt going from Astro to Sveltekit, but that’s a shorter distance to travel.

Oh, but you are moving out of React. And svelto IMO is waaay friendlier and "sane" than "typical" react. Svelte reactive model (observables and computed) are very friendly and simple to use.

It doesn't really make sense to compare React to a static site generator.
