On: Htmx vs. React: A Complete Comparison – Semaphore

[andai]

Preact is 3kb and works as a drop in replacement for React (most of the time). It's also way faster.

[Octoth0rpe → andai]

Similar to how the size of react without accounting for react-dom is deceptive, one is also unlikely to use preact without @preact/hooks and/or @preact/signals which increases the size somewhat. Still much, MUCH smaller than react though.

[kreetx → andai]

Is there a reason to use the original react, or will most libraries also work with preact, which is both faster and smaller?
