Typescript types: OK to use @types/react ?

[eekboom]

I am having problems again and again with the type definitions included in preact.
(Type of event handlers, of children). Most all the examples you find are using react's own types anyway.

Would it be fine if I just use @types/react?
After all, the types are just present at compile time anyway and preact is (pretty much) compatible with react.
Also that would make moving from react to preact (or vice versa) much easier.
