I have some troubles with the state hook. It may look nice to a novice developer, but when I look at it I just see confusing magic. I read what's happening and I just say wait, there's no closure or class here, how this state is stored is completely hidden from me.

I can see uses for the other types of hooks, but the state hook seems like it would be much better served with an HOC like Redux's connectToStore, which would be concise and non-magical.
