What is the reasoning of starting from a class component template over a function component template?
The old CLI used a function component template so i am wondering what the actual reasoning was for the change.

And for anyone else and prefering the function component, are you finding yourself in a position where you are having to copy the function component template from the docs?

Looking forward to the answer from the CLI team 🙂

I concur, it’s tiring @clever willow

So do you prefer the function component over class component?

Yes, I prefer functional components. I usually clear the class component each time I create a new widget
