Except it targets the React API, so the fracturing isn't really an issue.

well there's now 2 copies of the code, so everything is being maintained twice, there are twice as many opportunities for bugs, they have a list of "preact only" extensions (eg preact-router) that are only necessary because there's now another franework

Frameworks aren't life and this isn't diversity anyway. It's React without contexts, refs and proptypes that has fewer developers and significantly less testing. And it's not the only one, because react-lite is React without server-side rendering.

How the hell is feature ripping and repackaging (after removing carefully crafted edge case handling) diversity?
