"Traditional" hooks are 6 years old. I think it's to early to call it traditional. Given that literally everyone else looked at this "tradition" and chose differently. Namely, signals.
Signals were popularized by SolidJS, but SolidJS's Ryan Carniato will keep telling you that what everyone calls signals now has its roots in libs like KnockoutJS from 2010. And everyone has been busy using signals for the past three years.
Given the amount of frameworks that implement signals today (including monsters like Angular), it's React who's not following tradition.
