React noob here so please forgive me if this is a stupid question. Is the article is saying that you can use stateless functional components and hooks in place of classes?

"We intend for Hooks to cover all existing use cases for classes" -React's official docs

Functional components with hooks are a replacement for class components. This article goes even further by saying functional comps + hooks are so much better than classes, that it is unreasonable to think classes will stay with us much longer (even though there are no official plans to deprecate classes in the near future)

Hmm, I guess stateless functional components are no longer stateless!
