> Svelte is one of the 6 JS frameworks in the (flawed) State of JS 2019 survey — 75% have heard of it, 7% have used it, and 45% are interested in learning more

Why is it flawed and why are you citing a flawed study? You mention that it's flawed twice but then immediately cite data from it. If you're telling me it's flawed why should I care about the data?

I considered linking or footnoting that text and probably should have.

Like all surveys, there's a selection bias. For example where are the world's millions of jQuery developers?

There's also a lot of controversy around Angular's treatment in the survey and an alleged pro-React bias. This shouldn't affect the Svelte numbers much.

Thanks for bringing it up - I'll improve the text somehow.

It's a type of opinion that should warrant it's own blog post, at the very least.
