I just wanna give a shoutout to Facebook for finding a balance between rapid, innovative development on a major library without constantly introducing breaking changes. On the backend I'm a Clojure dev, and this approach has long been a standard in clojure.core which has earned my loyalty for many years. Wish more projects could be like this.

Whilst the major changes are not technically breaking, they are culturally breaking; e.g. ask for help how to do something with classes, and you are likely to get someone telling you to "just use hooks instead". I've never encountered another library whose users are such opinionated assholes.

Who are these jerk users? I'm going to give them a noogie!

In all seriousness, I'm sorry you had such a bad experience. That's not what we want the React community to be. Next time, feel free to tag me or someone else on the core team and we'll tell them to cut it out.
