I guess it depends.

Compared to React, Hyperdom:

- does not require any state management beyond regular javascript

- is fast

- has a built-in router

- has input bindings

- has a small, concise API

is 9k gzipped

As for Mithril, there is a great write up that goes into a detailed comparison on their website - https://mithril.js.org/framework-comparison.html#react. One thing stood out for me personally - and it's true for both frameworks - it's pragmatic. There is just not much to it. There is just not much to building SPAs as React might make you think.

On the other hand, React has a massive community and a whole lot of complimentary projects that solve all sorts of problems - I am thinking of styled components for instance - and so perhaps, from that point of view, React is rather pragmatic.
