Thanks for your contribution. From my perspective:

Pros

• Looks cooler when someone starts their first new project

Cons

• Adds a bunch of stuff that needs to be deleted from every project

For me, the negative outweighs the positive here. But I can understand the appeal and am open to being wrong.

Thank you for responding, and I'm glad you consider it a positive point for those starting their first project. However, I somewhat disagree with what you call a con. For example, JavaScript frameworks often contain much more code that needs to be deleted to start a clean project, especially when using Vite. Moreover, it can make the framework more appealing to new developers, since for many, a Rust framework for the client side is something unfamiliar. Frontend frameworks are based on attractiveness not only by their potential but also by their convenience and appearance. I think this commit could bring that to the project.

Hey, you're both spot on! Just to add a bit of context from a Leptos newbie's perspective—I'm all in on this framework from now on.

Things are pretty clear now, but I still think these kinds of improvements should be on the main website and in the examples.

To attract developers who use Vite, Vue, or other frameworks, I think the official page and community events need to be stronger. The RustNation UK presentation showed Leptos' potential, but it might not be that appealing to people who don't know Rust and just want a pretty site without much effort (which is what a lot of frameworks with complex templates do, and you end up not using half of it).

So, I'd say keep the templates as bare-bones as possible. The less you have to delete, the better the developer experience—I'm definitely speaking from personal experience here!

Maybe as a template improvement, you could add options for including Tailwind CSS or Bulma with something like --style tailwind (but that's a whole other topic) XD

Regards and super awesome work @gbj
