Specs
Question Ranking
Pros
Pro Lightweight
The size when gzipped is only 3kb, and performance is as good as (or even faster than) React itself.
Pro Same API as react
Avoids having to learn an entire new paradigm, and makes it easy to switch between the two libraries later on.
Pro Lots of examples and libraries
They have a bunch of examples and addon libraries.
Pro Awesome CLI
Preact CLI gives you a perfect scoring PWA out-of-the-box with no configuration.
Pro Great tooling and language support
Very good CLI and webpack, bundling, testing, deployment support. Deep TypeScript integration and support.
Cons
Con Difficult to learn
You need to be good in React JS first to learn Preact. Documentation is not rich. And some of the examples given on site are not working. Developers are not much active on Stack Overflow as well.
Con Slightly over-engineered
Very enterprisey - made for huge architectures and with tons of declarative, non-intuitive annotations it makes it overkill for very small projects.
Con Native i18n support over-engineered
Not developer-friendly. Switching languages need reloading the whole page. There are third party solutions that work better.
