Sure, but if you can drive hooks safely, they seems to make some things _very_ clean. I'm going back through and rewriting a toy app I haven't launched yet to use hooks and it's been a joy to work with them so far.
This seems to be the response to every addition to javascript or react without addressing the above concerns.
Nothing wrong with your comment on trying to embrace it per se, but it would be healthier if this sentiment was balanced in the community with more skepticism rather than blind embrace.
