I think that's the sweet spot. Native fetch performance with axios-style conveniences. Some libraries are moving in that direction, but nothing's really nailed it yet. The challenge is probably keeping it lightweight while still solving the evaluating 5 retry packages problem.
Ky is definitely one of the libraries moving in that direction. Good adoption based on those download numbers, but I think the ecosystem is still a bit fragmented. You've got ky, ofetch, wretch, etc. all solving similar problems. But yeah, ky is probably the strongest contender right now, in my opinion.
