As an early beta user, I also agree. I think the issue with many modern libraries is that they don't know when to stop. Like that guy who keeps adding visual mods to his car, or that TV show that keeps creating mediocre seasons.

I took a risk on React back when there were minimal components and zero form libraries and started fading away from React once hooks were added. Redux is still pretty nice, and overall still use React because I much prefer it to anything else. But we're definitely in the long-term bloat phase which you can tell by the popularity of things like Vue, "React Lite" libraries being built, etc.
