If you are going to advocate against something, the alternative you propose needs to be better in some important area, other than "not that thing".

What is the thing you hate about react, and what is the thing you require in an alternative?

I hate bloat and require lightness, so I use Preact.

I also hate complexity and difficult to read stuff, so when I look at the proposal here, I don't see anything appealing, other than "look! it's not react!"
