React 19 ref

🚀 React 19 just removed one of the most annoying patterns…

No more forwardRef just to pass a ref 👀
Now you can treat ref like a normal prop — simple, clean, and finally intuitive.
💡 Before:
Extra wrapper, more boilerplate, harder to read
💡 Now (React 19):
Just pass ref like any other prop ✅
This small change = big DX upgrade
• Less code
• Better readability
• More intuitive component design
• Cleaner abstractions
Honestly, this is one of those changes you don’t realize you needed… until you use it.
👉 Are you excited about this, or do you think forwardRef was fine?
