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.
