With server components/actions you get rid of most useEffect()s and a lot of useState()s, and with the upcoming React compiler you get rid of useMemo(), useCallback(); Redux and other state management tools become pretty irrelevant for many server-component-driven apps as well.

But I agree that React attracts a lot of mediocre and inexperienced programmers, and does not provide very much guard rails against doing bad things, so predictably the average code quality is terrible.

It doesn't help that React is the go-to for getting a job nowadays and most people skip over even the most basic fundamentals to just immediately learning React, without having ever understood the principles behind React or what problems it was created to solve in the first place.

Any developer who I work with who started off just learning React is notably lacking in understanding and skill at webdev when compared to those who did not just jump straight to React.
