I really like Mithril.js (https://mithril.js.org/), which is, IMO, as close as it gets to web IMGUI. It looks a lot like React, but rendering happens manually, either on each event or with a manual m.redraw() call.

I think, similar to Preact, Mithril skips the VDOM, which makes it "more immediate" than React.
However, updating the DOM and then turning the DOM to an image (i.e., rendering it) still has an indirection that using canvas/webgl/etc. don't have.

Both Mithril and Preact use virtual DOMs:
