You just can't migrate with React too. The dependencies are always in the middle of a major refactoring that is released for the new react version so you need to change all code. This happens too often for too many packages

lol having worked through 3 large projects going from 0.14 to 15 - pain.

15 to 16 - pain.

16 to 17 - pain.

If you disagree you haven’t worked on anything even slightly complex.

Thankfully I’m on my 2nd project of ripping react out for htmx. The last one was a huge success. No doubt this one will be too.
