Improving React Interaction Times by 4x

This entire article is an example of the largest pain point when working with React. So much of the work done here simply can&#x27;t be done without various hacks around `useEffect`, `useMemo`, or `useCallback` (manual memoization). I feel to this point that even with the new React beta docs explaining the use cases for `useEffect`, it still causes an immense amount of pain in some situations.<p>It&#x27;s not immediately clear when writing code that uses `useEffect`, when it&#x27;s a very bad idea long term for performance or code clarity. This often shows itself when the test data is very minimal and then the real data is far more expansive.<p>I still love React, but these complex scenarios definitely show some of the limitations in React&#x27;s rendering model that other frameworks like Vue, Svelte, and SolidJS resolve.
