Disagreed. It's likely that there are factors at play here that we're not considering, such as personal preference or certain people enjoying different patterns more.
> Components that use hooks are easier to read, understand and modify.
Hard disagree. In my experience, hooks take a single concern within a component (whether it should update, or reacting to a certain event within it) and scatter the logic throughout multiple hooks in any non-trivial application, which leads to the control flow becoming harder to understand and lower overall coherency of the code.

This feels like an indicator that you should split your components into smaller parts and compose those, as opposed to look for other ways which may or may not be better (because of the aforementioned differing preferences) to express that same level of complexity.
> Code ended being complex and interaction between lifecycle methods and constructor hard to debug.

I apply this very same quality to hooks.
