I switched from React to Vue because I didn't like the direction they were going with hooks. Now it looks like Vue is heavily borrowing from the same approach. Slightly upset about that but I guess I'll have to learn the new style. Maybe it will be better in the long run.

You could look into other options like Svelte.

Svelte is really nice because it makes the mundane easy (some say magic) and the tough stuff like reactivity and animation manageable.

Or just go with hooks. Obviously there are quite a few pros and cons but for us the reduction in boilerplate led to a net increase in cognitive understandability of our code base so to say.

I'd be really interested in your thoughts on this. What about hooks don't you like so much that it made you abandon React?

Hooks brought me back to react. Everyone is different I guess.
