I've seen a lot of JS frameworks come and go. Eventually they all become hard to work with as complexity accretes to address more use cases and keep performance up. The same is true of native frameworks. SwiftUI and Compose are great when you're just getting started but as soon as you start building complex apps things get hairy fast.

I think we still just haven't figured out how to build a UI toolkit that is both highly expressive to use and performant for complex UIs.

I think there are some really great ideas in hooks but it might take a new language built around them to make them truly ergonomic. The React compiler is a step in that direction.
