They fit so well into React it's crazy.

But they're also soooo idiosyncratic which makes them rather ugly on a general level.

They also come with many restrictions and rules on correct and efficient usage, not all of them checked by ESLint, that make the learning curve a bit brutal.

But yes, insanely useful once you get the hang of them, they enable forms of abstraction and composability that you'll sorely miss when working in other UI frameworks.

Aren't there proper TypeScript bindings which catch (more) cases?
