I'm 3 months into my first React/Redux project and wouldn't adopt Redux again if I were starting over. Don't get me wrong, it's not horrible, but it's not great either.

Compared with the extreme elegance and simplicity of React itself, Redux is verbose, boilerplatery and the way it integrates with React never feels natural.

I've taken a look at Mobx and had that aha moment of "yes, this is what the solution should look like!" Of course there's a big caveat here: not having really used it I don't know what its problems are yet. I'm comparing the real world warts of Redux with the platonic ideal of Mobx, but still it's definitely what I would try if I were starting a React project now.
