Out of curiosity, and I'm asking this as a curious React dev, what made you change your mind about it?

So far, everything I’ve had to type in it was code specific to what I was doing. And that feels nice.

The extra boilerplate that doesn’t bring any value to me, as a dev, when needing to update values at runtime. I find two-way binding to just be simpler.

Same thing for the components and their props.

But I also get why some wouldn’t appreciate having things getting "automagically" done for them.
