Hm...my response was the exact opposite of that. Maybe I need to rephrase?<p>In bullet points:<p>1. Yesterday someone presented a case where they needed to interact with a DOM API that used local state.<p>2. I didn&#x27;t think it would be worth the trouble to wrap that API.<p>3. That is not an endorsement of local component state.<p>Hopefully that clears things up. :)
