I never understood the need for hooks and how it's used (the example that react doc has for useState is too simplistic for any useful pedagogical reasons) until I saw divjoy's generated code and studied how it used hooks. Then everything clicked and I've been more productive using hooks than I ever had with react classes. I can attest that cognitive load is lower with hooks than with classes.
