I have already moved to using React for my larger projects and Mithril for my smaller ones instead of Vue because of the lack of typescript support.

That and when you add JSX to mithril, the api just feels so simple and i rarely find myself checking the docs for something.

Glad to see Mithril mentioned. I like it better than React when comparing the APIs, It just seems simpler. But React obviously has the mind share. I'd love to see Mithril gain momentum.

I especially like the fact that I can easily include it as a script, like Vue, and don't have to have a build chain. That really decreases complexity for smaller projects.

FWIW, you can absolutely use React as just a pair of script tags - see the "React Single-File Example" template [0].

It's certainly common to use React in a larger application that uses a build chain, and that's the recommended approach, but it's not required.
