Discussion on: React Hooks (useContext, useEffect, useState, useRef) Summarized Like Crazy (Short & Concise Article)

yes, the difference is querySelector is imperative, useRef declarative, also querySelector does a search for the string you pass to it, so you have to know that is unique and won't change.
useRef on the other hand, ties itself to that jsx element and nothing else.
