Svelte's Next.js. ~19k stars. Smaller community than React but the DX is genuinely better and runtime bundles are smaller. Worth considering for greenfield projects where team training is feasible.
Vue's Next.js. ~56k stars. Mature, great DX, strong ecosystem. The default for Vue apps that need SSR and SEO.
JSX with fine-grained reactivity instead of VDOM. ~33k stars. Closer to Svelte's mental model with React's syntax. Smaller community but excellent performance.
