But it is so cool!

I really don't understand why people complain about Spring or ASP.NET annotations, and then go running to Next.js with its useXXX and import magic.

Spring is a very good analogy to what useX hooks were to react. Thank you for this.

A different dsl inside Java or js implemented with duct tape in a dynamic way. React was screaming for a real typed functional language like elm imo, instead of a kludge of abstractions enforced by linters and weekly-changing best practices. React should have been "finished" like jquery. It is possible to develop something solid in it of course, but elegant it is not. Full of leaky abstractions.
