But what’s better? In the end you need control over stuff, it’s almost like people want frontend to be magically easy but unfortunately there’s just the reality that either you have high abstraction but less control, or low abstraction and more control (more code, more gotchas, etc) until you get a smart optimizing compiler ofc.

Hooks imo are great, as they are pretty explicit and low level.

Nowadays signals are the new kid on the block, though mobx and similar have existed since forever in react land, but they have their own crazy edge cases like reactive loops and implicit behavior.
