As someone who has been doing React for nearly as long as it’s been public, the honeymooon is definitely over. Hooks were supposed to save us, but now my projects are more complicated and harder to maintain than the old class based components. My team is constantly fixing useEffect and useCallback bugs. UseEffect just traded one foot gun for another. As Vue and Svelte have shown, maybe it’s time for react to include a compile step to automate some of the boilerplate/tedium and reduce avoidable bugs.
