React is far from being stable. It deprecated a lot older API, added entirely new concept of hooks.

If one wants stability, then PHP has a way better track record.

Nonsense. React is extremely stable. It indeed added hooks, deprecating exactly nothing in doing so. React deprecations are very few and far between.

De jure deprecation, correct - but reading between the lines in Facebook's own blog article that introduced Hooks ( https://reactjs.org/docs/hooks-intro.html ), which put a bit too much emphasis on "There are no plans to remove classes from React.", which to me means they're definitely going to be deprecating class-based controls in the future.

I can see three possible universes here, all of which end on everyone assuming that classes are going to be removed from React.

> There are no plans to remove classes from React.

They're totally going to remove classes from React.

> We are going to remove classes from React.

They're obviously going to remove classes from React.

> No comment.

They're totally going to remove classes from React.
