Summary: this guy doesn’t like hooks because he doesn’t like learning new stuff and he wants to throw out React because it changed a little bit. Doesn’t mention the benefits of framework changes or rationale behind them.

Definitely garbage YouTube click bait here. Don’t bother.

This is a long-winded rant that seems to boil down to advocating for avoiding frameworks altogether. Not worth the watch.

I'm a fan of React but I posted the link because this time the author actually used React for many years. Usually, people criticizing it are still learning and are frustrated by React's vast and fragmented ecosystem stemming from its open nature.

And he continues: "So what is my proposal? I don't really know."

But then also: Use Polymer.
