There’s an excellent article in the React documentation about this (“You Might Not Need An Effect”). Back when I was working on a React team I probably threw it at a code review on average once a week.

I really like React, but given the way developers seem to struggle to use it “correctly” (despite all the lint hooks and weird diagnostics like double rendering to help) it’s hard not to feel like there’s something wrong with it.
