Hooks are the best thing for frontend dev since async/await.

I can't count how many issues I've seen due to: missing useEffect dependencies, cyclical hooks, unnecessary rerenders, etc. linked to this API.

It has a lot of expressivity but is incredibly brittle and dangerous.

That’s true of every other GUI tech.

Angular too many digest cycles anyone?

I would believe that if there were exactly two things in front end.
