I too can't shake the feeling that hooks are off. I like JSX and the component model.
In React and like-minded projects, I look at a stack trace and see that it starts at some kind of batch renderer. I can't tell "why", "how" or sometimes even "what" broke. The input part of it is completely lost.
I work on a Backbone application where stack traces are much more obvious. They usually tell you the whole story. I find that juniors who were mostly exposed to React have a tendency to completely ignore stack traces, and am now wondering if they are just conditioned to them being unhelpful.
