Personally I was quite surprised by the good performance of React 16 + Preact in the benchmarks. It's not much slower and does all the "update" logic for you.

Keep in mind, too, React handles MANY edge cases for scenarios like keeping scroll position on update, or animations.
- baybal2 8y agoYes, after many years, they polished it to the limit, and browsers themselves got faster. That made the slowdown much less noticeable.
- pkstn 8y agoYeah it’s become way faster that’s true! The thing I have with React (and similar) still is that there’s so much black magic happening. I like to be more in control what’s happening and when. But usually the bottleneck with React apps are state managing libraries, like Redux etc plus all the other bells and whistles.
