> have just evolved into new forms, based on lessons learned Well, yeah, that's what churn means. Consider, for example, that Vue and Angular have more or less stayed the same in terms of how people are supposed to write idiomatic code. The vue equivalent of hooks is very much seen as yet another option on equal footing (if not slightly derided as bandwagoning) since the old ways are just as expressive. When I hear people talking about React hooks, it's certainly not framed in terms of "oh it's just a different way of writing the same thing", but rather "oh it's better because it solves a bunch of issues w/ older idioms". Another example, Mithril.js adopted element-level lifecycle methods (similar to Inferno et al) and the community largely thinks hooks are unnecessary - the last major bump was only major due to obscure semantic technicalities rather than introducing major ways of writing code (Vue is another great example that similar in this regard as well)
