React state management has changed a lot.
React DOM/views have not significantly changed in 12 years.
Our 10 year React projects that used mobx have not changed very much.
Savage take: I found React when it came out and I thought “wow you made this gorgeous DOM library and then you bolted on this messy ugly wart for state.” Then hooks came out and I’m like… this is a good electrician pretending they can also do plumbing.
