Preact: Not replacing the elements inside render container at first rendering

[kaioduarte]

React documentation says that:

ReactDOM.render() controls the contents of the container node you pass in. Any existing DOM elements inside are replaced when first called.

But in preact the content is not replaced, here is a running example:

same conversation as #1718; preact is not constrained to the ReactDOM.render() api definition and can operate differently. Is that good? in my opinion "no", but there's a history why it's never been the same

Oops, my bad, thanks for link the conversation :wink:

Awesome, thanks for posting 👍 We could destroy the DOM just in compat, that sounds easy enough 💯
