Welcome to the last 5 years of React development. React was "finished" with 17, but it's now a zombie project being filled with increasingly absurd feature sets serving as a promotion tool for bored Meta devs.
- meiraleal 2y agoFor me the start of the decline was actually React 16.8 with hooks.
- a_wild_dandan 2y agoNo accounting for taste, I suppose. For me, hooks were when React got amazing.
- ttfkam 2y agoNo accounting for taste, I suppose. For me, class components were absolutely horrid and hooks simply made it less horrid by comparison. I guess anything can seem amazing after you've been stuck in knee-deep mud.
- Izkata 2y agoHooks were how they re-added necessary functionality to function components that class components already had. They definitely didn't think it through.
