Some good points here, good reading for someone wanting to get into React

Yeah, pretty good read.  At the speed that React has been changing, it's hard sometimes to google correct answers for how to solve a problem, though.  But hooks and effects were an excellent addition.

I'm still not sold on hooks and effects, classes make much more sense to me for some reason

I think the hardest thing for me to understand when I started with React was that we were also using Redux, and there's this idea of component state and redux state, and that loosely translates to page state and site state.  Once I learned about effects, it became more obvious the difference between the two.

Yeah I haven't gotten into Redux myself, we use Context API though for a few things but I haven't gotten into the nuts and bolts of it or rather the parts that use it haven't been on my radar yet.
