Totally agree re comments. They're necessary. Hooks do have huge advantages for composability and flexibility, and that can't be denied. But the API is just so arcane.

If my company wasn't a React shop, I'd probably be using Vue. I used Vue at my previous company and liked it a lot.

Headless libraries like `react-table` that use hooks are a revelation though. So nice to get pretty much all the behaviour you could ever need, without it making UI decisions for you. Difficult to use at first and wrap your head around, but hoo boy is it great to have the power to fully control the rendering!
