On: React is holding me hostage

Something I don’t quite get, doesn’t useRef just solve the re-render issue?

Sure, but then you're managing state and re-renders yourself. Kinda defeats the purpose of using the framework, right? The useRef() approach to fixing performance is the main reason why I think Signals are popping off. Users of frameworks like Vue and Svelte have felt this way for a long time.
