Maybe I am crazy or old school but I though the concept of creating component as a class with standard functions to override (and defining a contract with props types) took a unwieldy language like JS and gave a sane and standard approach to it.
I now look at more "modern" functional components /w hooks and find it VERY hard to understand the data a component takes and how it uses/responses to interactions.
It feels like react was class based... and now that functional coding is the "in thing" its trying to shoehorn everything into functional components. In the end it really turns me off to functional programming as I see many developers sacrificing readable/understandable components to save a few lines of code.
