I certainly did complain! And I'm sure I'll do it again if the new features aimed to supplant the old ones are worse.
If you search anything about React now, 90% of the docs are hook-based. Beginners of React in 2025 will be guided to use a default pattern which has worse runtime footprint and adds a whole suite of new tool-specific coding guidelines ("rules of hook"). After years with it, I struggle to see what it has added in terms of building front-end SPas, yet the pattern is now the default for all using React.
