Redux still baffles me. I've implemented it 4 times, and it still confuses the hell out of me.

MobX is a much better fit for most react apps IMHO. Redux could be good, if you have a database [id] driven application, but for most people is way too restrictive.

If you are working in a small team, and are using Redux, you are probably making life harder than it has to be.




When Redux stops to buffles you, might be the good time to give advice about it. You might implement it 20 times, but if you don't understand it, every time will be pain. Redux can be life saver even for single developer, so team size dosen't matter.

Would be funny to say, I've tried 4 times to tie my shoes, but didn't go well, so you shuldn't tie your shoes...

So much hate, whithout any reason is what buffles me.


> but for most people is way too restrictive

This is the point of redux. If you don't have these restrictions, then state will be all overt the place, race conditions, side effects will make your life much harder as the app matures especially with multiple developers.


Hi, I'm a Redux maintainer. Any specific aspects you're having trouble with? Happy to answer questions.
