less code !== faster code. I wouldn't even try this without seeing some impressive performance benchmarks. Giving up the support of the entire react team and community in exchange for a small framework that may or may not be faster is a huge ask.

In the second benchmark, Preact is only faster in around half of the tests. However, this benchmark only tests complete top-down re-renders and intentionally triggers synchronous rendering in Preact. In a normal app composed of Components, Preact batches state changes which improves performance considerably.

All libraries in uibench have batching, and batching doesn't improve performance, it just prevents from doing unnecessary work during one frame. It is pointless to test performance of different state changes with enabled batching.
