Likewise I simply don't empathise with the author's complaints. Hooks make sense if you think in closures. Hooks are isolated so you can think about them in isolation.
What I like about the React monoculture is that it's one less thing I have to care about. I can focus on the other aspects of my programs, beyond turning JSON into HTML.
I haven't used SolidJS so I'm not going to put it on blast. However, hearing people compare its reactivity model to Knockout JS gives me the heebie-jeebies, because Knockout projects were horrific to reason about (and test) beyond a certain scale.
