Usually comparisons are biased as it's not easy to get over you own point of view. I personally don't like hooks and find them ugly and convoluted. But there is a good reason for React to be as popular as it is - also connected to many successful products.

As someone with significant production experience in both this is heavily biased but also at least once totally completely false:

> React Hooks made it even worse. Now it’s overly restrictive, and it doesn’t even allow Typescript to work.

TypeScript works beautifully with hooks.

I'll give it one thing though: IMO redux is totally unnecessary.

We've been removing redux, rewriting to plain react for a while already and no one complains. Why? As far as I can see because everything we used redux for is better solved by composing views and services thoughtfully.
