Funny thing is, I do not know what coroutines are and have zero experience with them. I am object oriented class programmer who never cared about functional programming.

I figured hooks intuitively and straightforwardly when I had to work with react a year ago. Ok, function with state, but it was easy to read them, imagine what they do and maintain the code. It just seemed as an improvement over the old react to me, despite having no coroutines knowledge.

Exactly!

To be honest they're not full-blown coroutines (since the React runtime cannot control when the component progresses) which might be a bit more complex to grasp... but the idea of "yielding control" to someone else (i.e. to React, when calling one of its hooks) is there and as you say it's pretty straightforward.
