React hasn't been a library since they added hooks.

Hooks themselves are just a solution to async code, but the implication was that react was no longer a state-based UI rendering library and became a full blown frontend framework.

Hard to call something a full blown front end framework when it doesn’t have routing.
Routing is only important for a single page applications. Frontend frameworks are applicable to normal websites as well, they don't have to be SPAs with routing, caching, etc.
Can you please guide me where this heresy is being spread?
You heard it here first, I'm officially breaking the story wide open.
From what you posted in this thread, I can tell with confidence you don't know shit about web development

Hooks solution to async code? Hooks make React full blown forntend framework? Routing only important for single page applications? Yellow gorilla bread butter? Chickity dickity web frontend back single page I understand much
