This is the most legitimate criticism I've seen in the discussion. Hooks give you more control. 'useEffect' will only re-run when any value in the dependency array is updated. In class syntax, you have 'componentDidUpdate', but that function gets called after any prop or state change. With hooks, there is more granularity. Personally, I've found reasoning about hooks to be a learning curve that was conquerable in about a week. But there is no arguing, it requires you to mentally reason a little bit further than the blunt 'componentDidUpdate'.
