I really liked this article, Mohammad and how you explained the virtual DOM, controlled and uncontrolled components. When would one choose to use an uncontrolled component is a question that comes to my mind.

Some places where you can use uncontrolled components:-

-   When dealing with third-party libraries or integrating with non-React code where managing the component state is impractical.
-   When you have a simple form that doesn't require complex interactions or validation.
-   When you're dealing with a large number of form elements and controlled components become cumbersome to manage.
