The ideal framework for me doesn't get in the way and has just enough tools to get the job done, supports tree shaking, has the performance of hand optimized code, foregoes needless abstractions, provides an enjoyable developer experience and doesn't fill node_modules with a GB of dependencies. It basically consists of manageable reactivity and JSX as a template language (because of the superior tooling). Also, it would be free and open and supported by a welcoming and friendly community.

Only a few weeks ago, I found Solid.js and it seems to be as close to this as it gets.
