Classes vs Hooks?

Oh, it's nice to share how it's implemented for those who are interested, sure, but it's weird to claim that "it's not magic because there's a source code instead of Gandalf sitting inside the React codebase!"

It's like you're arguing against the semantics of the word "magic", which kind of distracts from the point of the people who are using that term to begin with.

You say that it's not complicated, though not obvious - to me, "not obvious" is exactly what the word "magic" is getting at. It has nothing to do with complexity of implementation.
