> This is yet another JavaScript paradigm to learn. For the record, I am a 49-year-old React fanboy. I am a freelancer and use other frameworks apart from React, and this gives me fatigue.
Amen to that. The fact that still are in "here's a 'better' idea, let's try this" landscape in JavaScript is depressing.
I no longer jump on these new frameworks when the bandwagon flies by. I ignore postings for jobs saying they are rewriting their system in "new Framework Y!". I don't care how "pure" your new design is, I care about having it work well in the trenches.
React Hooks and Containerizing Everything are the things this old "Webmaster" is kicking down the road until all the bugs are shaken out. I also skipped gulp and grunt and jumped straight into webpack, which I've read far too much about to understand so little.
Interesting way of thinking - hooks _are_ a new framework, they are just marketing it under the same name.
I guess I'm old too. When someone shows me what (real) pain hooks solve on non-Facebook-size codebases, I'll be all ears. Until then... Thank you, classes work just fine and make my code nice and readable.

I, too, am tired.
And old.
