> This just doesn't make any sense. None of this is nice. It's all ugly and complicated. There's no beauty to these tools.
Um. That applies to all software... but not especially to React and Redux. Or what are you comparing with?
Is there anything in particular you dislike about React, or Redux, or Babel?
I don't think this ecosystem is going to "collapse" at all. Something else will come along, as always. Until then, it's a fine set of tools.
You don't need to feel despair about choosing tools.
Spending weeks to learn an ecosystem of dynamic web programming... yeah, what's wrong with that? How quickly would you prefer to learn?
I learned to use React in a couple of days, for what it's worth. It's remarkably straightforward and the API surface area is small.
Redux is such a simple idea that I accidentally invented nearly the same thing before I even knew about Flux: put your app's state in a global immutable object, then use values to represent actions that transform the state. It's not ugly or complicated.
You don't need to be tricked by peer pressure either. You can be as conservative and cautious as you wish.
Why all this... whining?
