What we like

Build UIs in pure TS/JS without a virtual DOM. No build steps. Includes client-side routing, optimistic UI updates, component CSS, transition effects. Zero dependencies with a small (5kb) minimized size. Interactive tutorial docs.

Tradeoffs

Would benefit from more examples showing how to build real applications with data fetching.
