It's amazing to me that after so many years of being the leading framework due to being the first to introduce a new paradigm (the virtual DOM), React is still "the framework to follow", i.e. again being the first to come up with an innovation (hooks) that spreads like wildfire. And even more amazing that they managed to do so in a backwards-compatible way.

(And also: with not that much pressure to adopt it. Having a "Standard" and a "Compatibility" build does result in that pressure.)
