Pleased to say I had a meaningful hand in this :) As some background, this finally happened because:
- React 19 broke CRA
- I griped about it loudly on Bluesky (https://bsky.app/profile/acemarke.dev/post/3lggg6pk7g22o) and that started a long debate
- I filed an umbrella issue describing the specific breakage and recommending an actual official deprecation announcement (https://github.com/facebook/create-react-app/issues/17004)
- The React team finally took action to fix the CRA breakage, then wrote the blog post, updated the setup docs page, and redid the docs SEO to get Google to stop showing the legacy docs as a search result.
So, kudos to the React team for making meaningful changes here!
(It's not _exactly_ what I was hoping for, and I gave them some additional review feedback that they didn't include, but gotta give credit for the actual changes and steps forward!)

You might be interested in Astro (https://astro.build/), I've build my first project with it, and it's great to somewhat go back to basics, but without needing to set up my own server with templating and tasks for static assets, etc...

React was literally first created in ML out if the author's dislike of MVC, who preferred functional programming and immutability. For a long time, react aspired for its future to be in ReasonML.
Hooks came as no surprise to anyone who paid attention, as the recommended way to write components since at least 2016 was in the stateless functional style whenever possible, and many of us used recompose[1] to simulate hooks long before their introduction.
