Prop drilling in Svelte is exactly the same complexity.

useState() wouldn’t exist because Svelte doesn’t need a virtual DOM and the compiler takes care of reactivity (per the famous React vs Svelte meme).

Stores are way, way simpler than redux reflux whatever else.

I prefer an explicit function call over compiler voodoo magic, especially when it comes to reactivity (of which can have performance implications). Any solution where a compiler is changing the semantics of my code on the fly is just a hard pass.

Shrug. You’re comparing compiler voodoo with vdom voodoo.
