Preact doesn't offer a full synthetic events system so handling e.g. touch events cross-browser may cause you a little more headache than it would in React.

But I'm currently using Preact (server-rendered) for my personal site and loving the speed and byte size.

FWIW, there is actually no code in React to normalize touch events between browsers. For touch events react and preact are basically the same (aside from React creating a lot of pooled objects for their synthetic event system, and preact not using delegation).
