This article serves only to reinforce that the beautiful simplicity of react is spoilt by the confusion of Redux.
I feel that every Redux blog post should start by pointing out that despite react/Redux almost being discusssed synonymously, as the author of Redux points out, "you might not need Redux".
I would go further and say "avoid Redux until you know you need it", and point people to more simple ways of reaching the same goals.
Redux is a power tool for experts that is disheartening beginners and sending them down the wrong path.
I was speaking to someone recently who had tried Reactjs. I wanted to enthuse with him about how awesome it is. He said it was too hard and he went with vuejs instead. When I questioned him further it became apparent that he had started to learn react/Redux and gave up in confusion.
