React

Why? Its libraries are a few kilobytes each.

Is that the JS bundle only? I think you're forgetting the need to ship a rendering engine, a JavaScript engine, and the rest of the JS you inevitably bring in if you're using something like React.

Oh, I focus mainly on web. 'Forgetting' to ship engines is my bread & butter. lol I see you meant React (+Electron).
