For a small framework, I've been using SpineJS for years. https://github.com/spine/spine/
Example with Maquette:

Using focused, quality components has let me upgrade my stack piece by piece over the years while retaining backwards compatibility.
Maybe add Jquery if you want something just above plain JavaScript.
Edit:
Another benefit of Handlebars is that if you ever do decide you need a full framework, you can use Ember and leverage your Handlebars templates.
No template syntax to learn, one function API, 5kb gzipped.
Why do you need such a tiny footprint?
I need a footprint that works well with mobile devices, slow internet connections, etc. Also, I prefer smaller frameworks as they have less cognitive load - I usually am more able to read the source code, understand the API, and so on.
You can even precompile your Handlebars templates as an optimization and include a smaller subset of the Handlebars library that is just the runtime without the compiler.

For virtual DOM I don't go full React, I just use Maquette with Jade templates. http://maquettejs.org https://github.com/nextorigin/gulp-pug-hyperscript For a small framework, I've been using SpineJS for years. https://github.com/spine/spine/ Example with Maquette: https://github.com/nextorigin/maquette-mapper Using focused, quality components has let me upgrade my stack piece by piece over the years while retaining…
I like the dom wrapper this guy came up with: https://hackernoon.com/how-i-converted-my-react-app-to-vanil... I adapted it for myself here: https://gitlab.com/heycato/domjs/blob/master/dom.js
That is the funniest thing I've read all day.
Do you need a framework at all? I think you could get away with just plain JavaScript and include Handlebars if you want a templating engine. Maybe add Jquery if you want something just above plain JavaScript. Edit: Another benefit of Handlebars is that if you ever do decide you need a full framework, you can use Ember and leverage your Handlebars templates.
Then again, maybe I should just put the time in to make a well architecture and maintainable plain vanilla Javascript application. I'm definitely a fan of minimalism.
Vue is really small: 18kb min+gzip is tiny compared to the competition. Check also http://riotjs.com/ 9.73KB (gzip)

Do you know of any good mithril projects out in the wild?
