After all this time, React's sheer tonnage of boilerplate still astonishes me. That abstraction leaks like useMemo(…) even need to exist in the first place…
Folks want to solve their own problems, but they keep getting saddled with React's as well.

Try SolidJS. Similar ethos to React but far less boilerplate and performance-killing repaints.
Less code is better, functional or not.
I tried Solid. Signals are not new, I've used Knockout before and it turns into a spaghetti mess after a few years. I guess people today simply aren't old enough or experienced enough to know what eventually happens with fine grained reactivity.
