without commenting on the dependencies specifically, and simply evaluating the result sent to the client: - 1.1 MB of assets (pretty much all of it scripts). - 300ms of JS execution (on fast desktop in Chrome 63) - document.querySelectorAll("*").length = 742 in terms of perf, i'm sorry, but this is nothing to be proud of. even a fast vdom lib without SSR can do this in 10% the payload (or less) and 20% the scripting time (or less). why people are amazed at the speed of this impl is rather odd to me. i suppose it works well to demonstrate a large stack, but what you end up paying for that stack is plainly evident here.
