Should you use useEffect or better to get rid of it?

useEffect is a key hook in React for managing side effects (requests, subscriptions, DOM manipulations). It should not be avoided, as it solves important tasks that cannot be performed within the component body.

However, useEffect should be used consciously:

• Clearly specify dependencies so that the effect runs only when needed.
• Avoid excessive calls to prevent unnecessary load.
• When possible, split effects into multiple useEffects for better readability and control.

Thus, there is no need to get rid of useEffect, but rather to learn how to use it correctly.
