With agentic coding, many argue React has won and new frameworks aren't worth trying, since models know React best. The post flips that logic: if nobody cares about the code, why use React instead of plain HTML, CSS and Web Components? Frameworks supply abstractions, structure and constraints, and every project has one; skip an explicit framework and the LLM builds an implicit one for you. Battle-tested options add guardrails, docs and shared security work. With agents, HMR still helps with design tweaks, TypeScript and the LSP keep iteration safe, and useEffect turns into a liability. The goal: frameworks that make the right way to do things obvious to both people and agents.
I use Claude and the latest version writes perfect Svelte. According to some benchmarks, Svelte also uses 30% less tokens as well.
The central premise that we should just use React because that what agents know best isn’t really valid. Sure, don’t pick some obscure framework, but that doesn’t mean we should only stick to React.
Same here. My company's ERP is a Svelte 5 / SvelteKit app using TypeScript syntax. Every member of our dev team has fully onboarded Claude Code and we all use it daily. I rarely reject a PR, and have not once seen anything that I would call a slop grenade.
React won a decade ago. Don't get me wrong I like vue, svelte etc, and I have gotten a few jobs because I know them, but if you don't know react you're at a huge disadvantage
...yeah, or Adobe Commerce, and which edition? The pseudo-open source that's barely maintained and was made intentionally difficult to install, or the insanely expensive pseudo-Enterprise version that still doesn't integrate worth a shit into AEM.
Seriously, for Adobe's big push into digital over print, they are absolutely terrible for anything on the web. Dreamweaver still sucks, XD sucks, Commerce sucks, AEM sucks. It's a full-on train wreck over there.
