The more features React adds the less I end up using React. The new additions are just so inelegant, and don't fit my brain. The function useEffect has so many caveats and such a terrible API. A magic "use client" string at the top of a file is just ridiculous. React code is nearly impossible to understand and write without extensive external documentation now. I feel sad for the future developer that has to modify this type of code ten years from now; I hope Google is good at searching decade old documentation to figure out what the hell is going on in old React code.
