useEffect was a mistake

The only practical use I've had for useEffect is code that really only should execute once at startup. (In my case, initializing sqlite and syncing data from a server.) I'm sure it can do other things that are great, but I've never needed them. It feels strange to need a special hook for that.

In case it's not obvious, this was in the context of React Native.
