I wonder every day why React doesn't do a lot of things by default. Imagine specifying memoization dependencies by hand. Most of the stuff is named or put in the framework to raise engineering salaries for making CRUD applications or to make them feel smarter about doing basic web work.

React will go the way of JQuery in 5 years. We'll kindly thank it for it's contribution to the framework space and move on. No one in their right mind would pick it up for new apps over Vue, Svelte, Angular hell even Ember. Then you have the new wave of frameworks coming out. Only way that React is usable is only for the view layer with Mobx holding any other state.
