> The last major feature addition to React was Hooks in 2018. But that didn't break stability at all - you can still use all of the old React APIs and ignore that Hooks exist entirely. Yes, except that hooks completely changed how React is written, and most libraries and code samples now days use hooks. You basically had to learn a brand new way of writing React. I learned react pre-2018 (tens of thousands of LOC written) and I basically "don't know React" now. Then there is the ecosystem churn. I got tired of my routers breaking, all the bloody time. In 2 years I had to rewrite the routing for my code twice, each time took multiple days of frustration[1]. There has been the rise and fall of Redux, which again, massive churn in the ecosystem. [1] In defense of React I was using React Native Web which, at least at the time, was a pile of many small disasters combined into a single code base. Also it wasn't as well documented as I'd like, and eventually I had to scrap it and move to regular React, which solved many of my issues.
