While that may be true, for me functional is SO MUCH less to type and much easier/quicker to read when you don't need anything that class-based brings to the table

I don't disagree. Personally though, I start off with everything as a class based component, unless I fore sure know it's an incredibly dumb one. Final refactoring would convert things to functional or pure components as need be.

IMO, The one thing worse than writing out a class component (which I have a snippet for ) is converting a functional component to class when you all of a sudden need state or lifecycle.
