A few months ago I need to build a small web app and decided to have a look at React. Pre Hooks, I had used React a lot so I thought it will be straightforward. Then I stumbled upon all these new paradigms wrapped in hooks to make an API call. Confused, I gave up and switched to classic Flask with template engines.
Seeing this reminds of the time I was spending to understand these concept and use them. Quite funny that the whole React ecosystem is turning into a classic server rendered mechanism with core functionalities being deprecated. I'm glad I stayed away.
