What issues? This is an update to the docs to reinforce best practices that have been around for a while now. People are acting like there's been sudden breaking API changes. useEffect has always been a last resort technique, and even the old docs reinforced this. People saying things like "They recommended Next.js for starter projects, so they're giving up on SPAs?" both don't understand what Next.js is and, really, just want to be angry about something.
The response to this has been absurd. Dan Abramov has been active in the community and transparent about the documentation, and he has gotten direct ad hominem attacks from the same community.
It's just the same story: People that feel lost using React claiming the rest of tech world is fed up with it, and it will be dead next year. I question whether they even do frontend work that much, or are really backend devs forced to do it once in a blue moon. Meanwhile every other library/framework trying to "outdo" react just falls short in so many areas. I welcome the competition, but it's clear that these aren't the members of the community that should be tastemakers for frontend design.
