that's one thing I admired about the React team back then, they took the time to think about how things "should" work long term. The functional/hooks release was criticised as people liked their class components, but time has shown that hooks were the correct decision.

I feel they lost that as people gradually rotated out of the team, around the time they announced concurrent-mode, now suspense and the half baked RSC "release".

The DX isn't "right". It's just the one they are sticking to. There are many issues with the actual developer experience when it comes to hooks in React.

So it's a good thing that other frameworks are iterating and finding new and possibly improved ways of doing things. E.g. neither Svelte nor Solid require dependency arrays to effects or other reactive primitives. Their effects work everywhere, and not just inside component code. You're not beholden to the order and number of effects, unlike with hooks. Etc.

DX Amaze.
