I spent part of last Saturday going through the Svelte tutorial, and I really liked the framework.

I then was looking at recommendations for building fully functional web apps, and the official recommendation was to use "Svelte Kit". I began the tutorial for that, and was surprised at how the philosophy of that framework seemed to completely contradict the core Svelte framework. It was extremely odd and unappealing, and killed my newly gained enthusiasm for Svelte.

Has anyone built full web apps without Svelte Kit (previously Sapper)?
