I have had a similar experience, and feel the same way. I tried to give it a real shot with hooks, but the marginal benefit they bring seems to be far outweighed by the added complexity. Add to that the mixing of paradigms with some functional components, some class-based, etc and it becomes a mess pretty quickly.
