I've been using React since around 2016 and when Hooks were introduced I played around with it but didn't like it at all exactly because of the reasons mentioned in this article. Sure it reduced quite a bit of boilerplate code that came with class based components and enabled better code re-usability outside of class inheritance or mixins but the disadvantages were too big for me personally to really consider using Hooks in a "greenfield" setting.

In my current project I'm using Vue with Composition API which gave me the exact same "aha" moment the author of this article had with SolidJS. Vue + Composition API is way more similar to SolidJS in principle than React + Hooks.
