I have an Astro site that's mostly static with a couple interactive components. I recently converted the components from React to Lit and the result is so much simpler.

One of the things that was clunky in the React version was the use of setInterval. I had to write a hook in React and it just added this unnecessary layer of weirdness in how it all interacts[1]. In the Lit version, I just use setInterval normally and there's nothing extra to understand.
