Sure, I've developed React apps since it first appeared, and hooks I find to be by far the most intuitive API. They work closer to how I understand React to work internally, with minimal boilerplate. The things I find annoying about React were an annoyance before hooks (mainly to do with async). I find the code written with hooks cleaner, easier to read and write, less ceremony, less repetition, easier to test. I realise some people don't like this API, find hooks unintuitive. But a huge amount of people like the hooks API and prefer it over the class-based one. It's not just a fad, it's just a nice API, it works pretty well.
