  At work (sima-land) we lean on react-hook-form everywhere. It's the backbone of how we handle forms across projects. The date picker we were using — react-datepicker — kept getting in the way of that. Two things drove us up the wall:

  Your comparison is like comparing The Eagles to some little local rock band!

  Rather than two competitive products I think these are both market dominant products that reveal the engineering culture, values and impact of the two organizations.

  I can say that when I first started with React I thought it sucked and looked at Vue and Svelte and similar things. My take on all of them was that they made the internal frameworks I was using to build very complex RIAs in the 2005-2010 time frame look like something that fell off a UFO.

• How to Persist Multi-Step Form State With localStorage and sessionStorage

  With React Hook Form, use watch() to subscribe to all field values and trigger a persistence effect whenever they change. Use reset() on mount to initialize the form with restored values. The library's getValues() method is available for reading the current complete state before navigating between steps.

• Why Multi-Step Forms Outperform Long Single-Page Forms for Complex Signups

  Libraries like React Hook Form, Formik, and Zod for schema validation make the per-step validation architecture manageable and well-tested. React and other component-based frameworks make the state sharing pattern clean with context or a global store.
