And what do you think React can do that jQuery cannot? Heck, what do you think React can do that standard HTML5/JS API cannot do?

React doesn't offer new functionality to do UI. It offer new ways to think about the problem.

Hooks doesn't offer any new functionality over `this.state` and component life cycle, it offser new way to think about the problem.
