I’ve been using React for almost 4 years straight - I couldn’t disagree more. Hooks are incredibly useful in removing things that pollute the component tree like higher order components or components with render props which are hard to visually parse. If you have a common state pattern that multiple components use, there’s no good way to share that pattern without one of the solutions I just mentioned.. and hooks are by far the cleanest way to do that. Avoiding prop drilling is so easy with something like useContext. And hooks are always called.. there is no “maybe” when using them.
