Same boat. It's tiring watching other React devs tie themselves in knots over component lifecycle (either via hooks or class lifecycle methods) when the actual solution is to use neither.

It's downright pleasant, with typescript. All the "waaaah boilerplate" stuff goes away. It's very simple (not even hard to reimplement, in a pinch). Truly does work well with non-React codebases, so if you build your business logic or at least your client-code around it, it's portable.

I stopped being a React fan with hooks, but remain a fan of Redux.
