I want to understand exactly what React has, that Preact doesn’t have?

Preact is 4KB gzipped, while React is 43KB. Preact is hailed as the light weight alternative; but before getting into bed with Preact; I want to understand what I would be missing exactly?

P.S.: I know about preact-compat

(Love the cute Santa on Hashnode logo! Merry Christmas, everyone! :D)

Yes, sure, but I am not sure that this explains the 39KB addition :p (or maybe they wrote the name of every team member in the source code).
